Checking a character on a string

How can I check every character on a string on php?

For example I have this string.

$a = "sd qwerty utr";

I want to know the first of the string and get the 1st 3 characters, then I want to get the last 4 characters of the string.

The output will be "sd qwe utr".

To produce the output from your example you can try this

<?php
$a = "sd qwerty utr";
$ab=explode(' ',$a);
foreach($ab as $i=>$parts)
$ab[$i]=substr($parts,0,3);
$a=implode(' ',$ab);
echo $a;
?>

$a = "sd qwerty utr";

$first=substr($a, 0, 2);

$sec=substr($a, 3, 3);

$third=substr($a, 10, 3);

echo $first." ".$sec." ".$third;

This will give you the desired output....

$a = substr($a, 0, 3) . substr($a, -4);

There are two ways (your question doesn't match your description):

  1. You can use an index to get to each character individually: 

    $a = "sd qwerty utr";
$firstchar = $a[0];
// etc

  2. You can use substr() to get pieces of the string:

    $a = "sd qwerty utr";
$part = substr($a, 0, 3);    // first 3 chars of string
