Loading bits of files with PHP

So I know basic file loading in php and know that you can filter it so that only certain lines are displayed but can you filter it so that only certain parts of a line are submitted. Say I wanted to echo the whole line excluding the first and last word, or the whole line excluding the word and or something like that. I don't know if it is possible but it would be great if you could help! Thanks

Also how would I go about missing out certain characters in a file or when I am echoing anything. Say I didn't want the letter "T" to appear what would I do? Thanks and I am sorry that this is a bit specific.

Code:
<?php
$line = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.';
$words = explode(' ', $line);
unset($words[count($words)-1]);
unset($words[0]);
echo implode(' ', $words);
?>

Thanks so much hexkid that has been really useful.

Is there a way that I could delete the first say ten characters or last 10 from a statement though. I have searched PHP net and could not find anything. Thanks. Smile

Code:
<?php
$line = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
echo substr($line, 0, -10), "<br>\n";
echo substr($line, 10), "<br>\n";
echo substr($line, 10, -10), "<br>\n";
?>
