[SOLVED] Selecting the last character of a variable

[almightyegg]

If I have a $variable how would select just the last character. So if it was thomas, it would select s ??

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hmmm a few ways to do this....

 

Here are the first two that come to mind....  Not sure which is faster, but it's probably the first.

 

$word = 'thomas';
$s = $word[strlen($word)-1];

$word = 'thomas';
$l = strlen($word);
$s = sub_str($word, $l-2, $l-1);

Hrmmm just had a brain slip....

 

It's substr not sub_str, and I think this would work too:

 

$word = 'thomas';
$s = sub_str($word, -1);
