[SOLVED] Splitting

[rhyspaterson]

Hey guys,

 

Been having a look a split and preg_split, and i was just wondering how would would get the last character of a string with no spaces, no matter how long the string is..? I.e -

 

thisismyreallylongstringabc

 

How would we get the last character ('c') ? I mean you could use:

 

preg_split('//', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

 

but that would put each character into an array which is a bit of overkill if all we want is the last character.. any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

/Rhys

Wait.

 

$last = $str[strlen($str)-1];

 

Bingo

that or www.php.net/substr

 

I think it would be

$last = substr($str, -1);
