Combining two functions together

Question

I have two functions nl2br and substr which I would like to combine together, could someone please tell how I would achieve this:

<?php echo nl2br($row_rsMyrecordSet['text']); ?>

<?php echo substr($row_rsMyrecordSet['text'],0,10); ?>

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

<?php echo nl2br & substr($row_rsMyrecordSet['text'],0,10); ?>

@Dagon I did make a slight edit to my *Might work* bit. Added a second example. Not entirely sure but it's worth a shot. Maybe OP'll say "Make that an answer". who knows. Or, somebody's gonna come and pull the rug from under my feet. — Funk Forty Niner, Jun 24 '15 at 04:19
heys it's JS: `echo nl2br.substr($row_rsMyrecordSet['text']),0,10);` — , Jun 24 '15 at 04:22
So Frank Tony, did `` or `` work? I've got a train to catch. I have to get to @Dagon's place before he drinks all of that cherry wine ;-) — Funk Forty Niner, Jun 24 '15 at 04:22
You're welcome Tony. I posted it as an answer, if you choose to accept it to close the question and it be marked as solved. *Cheers* - Now let's see if @Dagon hasn't eaten all of those corn chips ;-) — Funk Forty Niner, Jun 24 '15 at 05:21

Seeing my first post was indeed the answer to this problem, am posting it as an answer.

You can actually use both functions, just as long as they're wrapped in brackets.

Like so...

<?php echo nl2br(substr($row_rsMyrecordSet['text'],0,10)); ?>

You can use any predefined function with other predefined

<?php echo nl2br(substr($row_rsMyrecordSet['text'],0,10)); ?>

This is the second answer I noticed you placed underneath mine. The other being http://stackoverflow.com/a/31018578/, coincidence? I kind of doubt it. That isn't my downvote, but you probably got it because of it. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 24 '15 at 13:29
