Hide some characters in a string by replacing them with *

Replace partial characters of a string with * to hide

/**
 * 将一个字符串部分字符用*替代隐藏
 * @param string    $string   待转换的字符串
 * @param int       $bengin   起始位置，从0开始计数，当$type=4时，表示左侧保留长度
 * @param int       $len      需要转换成*的字符个数，当$type=4时，表示右侧保留长度
 * @param int       $type     转换类型：0，从左向右隐藏；1，从右向左隐藏；2，从指定字符位置分割前由右向左隐藏；3，从指定字符位置分割后由左向右隐藏；4，保留首末指定字符串
 * @param string    $glue     分割符
 * @return string   处理后的字符串

Example 1:

$phone = '18866665555';
echo hideStr($phone,4,4);

Output

1886****888

Example 2:

$phone = '我的网站名称为PHP博客！';
$str =  hideStr($phone,7,5);
print_r($str);

Output:

我的网站名称为*****！
