Whyfore? It is a longer syntax which, in agreement with some folks, I think could be shortened (there's a feature request you could submit if you were so inclined), but there's a few methods you could use. Two of which are shown below. <?php $foo = 'This seems to bark like a basset hound in PHP'; echo $foo{(strlen($foo) - 1)}; echo substr($foo,-1); ?> -- </Daniel P.
