Finding a character at a specific position of a string

Question

Since I am still new to PHP, I am looking for a way to find out how to get a specific character from a string.

Example:

$word = \"master\";
$length =         


        

Answer 1

You can use your string the same like 0-based index array:

$some_string = "apple";
echo $some_string[2];

It'll print 'p'.

or, in your case:

$word = "master";
$length = strlen($word);
$random = rand(0,$length-1);

echo $word[$random];
