[RESOLVED] Parsing an INT from a string.

[Aurasia]

I know how to search a string for a substring like 'variable=' ... if PHP finds it, then do this, if not - then do that.

But how do I grab the next character as well? so 'variable=?' will be found, regardless of what that next character is? I'm assuming it'll only be a single digit number - so I don't have to do anything more complex than that.

Any ideas?
thank you

not sure i understand the question. you want to search a string for another string and if found return the next character?

$string = '123456789';

$strpos = strpos($string, '5');
if ($strpos !== false)
{
	if ($strpos == (strlen($string) - 1)) {echo 'match found at last character';}
	else {echo $string{$strpos + 1};}
}
else
{
	echo 'no match found';
}

this will output "6" because it follows "5"

That's it!

Thank you! Sorry for not being clearer with my example/question, but you got it!
