Hello, due to a little discussion on IRC I noticed that the following code works: <?php $a = "foobar"; $a{strlen($a)-1}; ?> now IMO the offset should only be a simple integer value, as this is a little bit too much magic to me (and perlish).
What is a "simple integer value"? You mean only to allow integer constants here? How are you supposed to process a string char by char without some sort of calculation of string offset? Edin
