how do you pull specific characters in from a $string

Good evening,

I want to create a method that will tell me the 10th and 11th character
in a string, and store it as $something. How can this be done?

Sincerely,

J

One possibility:

$string = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
$something = $string{9} . $string{10};

echo $something;

outputs: jk

Other ways could involve substr() and other string functions, but the
above was the first that came up.

You do know about the manual, do you? Search for "Return part of a
string" on http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php

If you need "String access and modification by character" look at that
chapter on http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
