Bug #17077: Negative string indexing

From: csaba@alum.mit.edu Operating system: All PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Negative string indexing This is my third (and last, for now) enhancement request. Please be patient with me - I am an ardent PHP fan. The single biggest thing I would like to see for strings is to be able to provide a negative index, where $str{-1} means the last character, $str{-2} the penultimate character and so on down to $str[0] === $str[-strlen($str)] It's just a convenince thing since I can already get there using substr or slice - it would just be a more compact way of writing it.
