How to get position of last character in a string?

Question

For example, I have $string = "abc+def", how can i get position of 'f'? Is it possible of finding position of last character in the string, in the above example, 'f' is last character.

I didn't clearly understand your question but i think what you need is to count the number of your string in order to get the position of the last character. — Hope, Sep 15 '14 at 00:53
what? you're looking the last position of `f` or position of the final string? — Kevin, Sep 15 '14 at 00:55

In PHP, as in most languages with zero-based indexing, the index of the last character in a string will be one less than the length of the string (strlen($string) - 1).

Edited - in PHP, the length function is `strlen`. – Mark Reed Sep 15 '14 at 23:34

If you want the last character, just use strlen() the length - 1. Its starts at zero.

echo (strlen($string)-1); // 6
echo $string[strlen($string)-1]; // f

It has a total of 7 characters, but positions start at zero.

I use this code to find charater in string. I hope this helpful

$string = 'abc+def';
$stringcheck = 'f';
$stringSP = str_split($string);
$position = NULL;
foreach ($stringSP as $key => $value){
    if(strcasecmp($stringcheck,$value) == 0){
       $position = $key + 1;
    }
}
