note 81678 added to function.substr

kriskra's charAt script has the nifty feature that when $pos == -1, it will give the last letter of the string. I am not sure (did not test), but I believe this code might be slightly faster: <?php /** * Function to get a single character from a string * * @param string $str String to get char from * @param integer $pos Get char from this position of $str. Should be zero or greater * @return mixed Integer -1 when $pos is out of range, otherwise the charater at position $pos. */ function charAt($str, $pos) { return ($pos < 0 || $pos >= strlen($str)) ? -1 : $str{$pos}; } ?> Please note that this version does NOT have this nifty feature. When $pos == -1, result will be -1. ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.135 Probable Submitter: 2001:610:1908:8000:20d:93ff:fe79:c26e ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81678 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81678/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81678/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81678/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81678/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81678/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81678/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81678 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81678 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
