Get last two chars of a string

[Lienne]

Like the topic says, I have a string of variable lengths, and I want to find out what the last two characters are. Thanks in advance!

the function you want is substr (for substring).

Here is how you would use it to find the last 2 characters of a string:

$string="abcdef";
$rest = substr($string, -2); // returns "ef"

the "-2" means it will take a substring starting from 2 characters before the end, and since no end parameter is given, it takes the whole rest of the string. For more on this function, check [a href=\"http://ca.php.net/substr\" target=\"_blank\"]http://ca.php.net/substr[/a]

ooh, ingenius. so Instead of using a positive number to move to the right, we us a negative to move to the left (which is the end). Great! Thank you very much!
