Chat script question

[GundamSV7]

Hey, just a quick question, I'm working on a chat script and I want to have 2 types, but both viewable on the same chat window, a public and a team chat. How would I code it so if they started a message with a // that it would send it to the database as type=2 instead of type=1(default)?

lets assume you get the text portion of the message via

<form action="post">
<input type="text" name="msg">
</form>

php logic could start off looking something like this:

it basically uses $string{x} where x is the blah-th character in the string, starting with 0 as the first character

/// get the message, minus dead space
$msg = trim($_POST['msg']);

/// check to make sure it's not empty
if ( !empty($msg) ) {
    /// if the first character is '/'
    if ( $msg{0} == '/' ) {
        /// if the seconds char is also '/'
        if ( $msg{1} == '/' ) {
            sendPublic($msg);
        }
        sendTeam($msg);
    }
}
