mb_strcut -- Get part of string

## Description

``string mb_strcut` (string str, int start [, int length [, string encoding]])`

Warning
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change in a future release of PHP without notice. Be warned and use this function at your own risk.

mb_strcut() returns the portion of `str` specified by the `start` and `length` parameters.

mb_strcut() performs equivalent operation as mb_substr() with different method. If `start` position is multi-byte character's second byte or larger, it starts from first byte of multi-byte character.

It subtracts string from `str` that is shorter than `length` AND character that is not part of multi-byte string or not being middle of shift sequence.

`encoding` is character encoding. If it is not set, internal character encoding is used.

See also mb_substr(), mb_internal_encoding().
