I know in JavaScript you have the handy 'charAt()' and 'indexOf()' functions... is there something like that in php? It would help me A LOT.
Thanks.

Thanks.

$dest = substr ($yourstring, startingat, howmanychars);

e.g.

$name = "Simon Mundy"
$name = substr($name,0,5);
echo $name;

prints "Simon";

Spend some time at www.php.net reading and re-reading the documentation if you get the chance - every time I visit I still learn something new, or find a better way to do things.

Ooh, that helps, thanks. That would take care of the charAt().
After reading some php.net documentation, I found that strpos would take care of the indexOf(). Thanks for that tip
