[UPHPU] Help me simplify this bit of code please?

[Ash]

Sorry, I forgot to add another line of the code that makes it so that 
substr won't work, at least reading from right to left. From left to 
right, it will, because there is always 2 chars for the description, but 
perhaps only 1 for the year.


case 'FF2':
                             $series_year = "2"; 
       		            $series_description = "/FF";
                     break;

I'm sure there's a way to make substr read from left to right, but I 
don't know how to do the counting for it.
