Question

I have a link:

http://www.site.com?something=thisismystring

now:

$bd=$_GET['something'];
$c=3;

echo $bd{$c};

Now when I try that, i get the forth char printed on screen, not the third, so then i try to add one up on $c to just check I’m doing it right ($c=4). And again, that returns the 5th char of the string when it should return the 4th….

I know this is something i’m doing wrong, but i cannot figure out what.

all help is much appreciated.

thanks

Nav,

The array starts at 0.

So for your example:
http://www.site.com?something=thisismystring

$bd=$_GET[‘something’];
$c=0;

echo $bd{$c};

That would print out the letter t (first character of the string).
