Read Strings

[Anon]

I worked with a lot of languages so far and in every language i could read strings character by character. Now the problem... I can't find out how to do this with PHP. Somebody help?

Here's an easy way to read a string char by char.

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
$char = substr($str, $i, 1);
}

Heres what you can do:

lets say that you have a string, aptly named $string. This string contains some text, ie a funny quote from our president dubya... "There's money in the budget for Medicare.. it's a doubling."

so, if we want the first character in the string all we have to do is perform this simple task:

$string = "There's money in the budget for Medicare.. it's a doubling.";

print $string[0];//gives you the letter T
print $string[6];//gives you the letter s

and so on. The inset numbers start with 0 so make sure to remember this. If I wanted the 205th character, all i have to do is print $string[204];.

Hope that this helps
