Note Submitter: yorn at no dot spam at niroj.com ---- 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.
