    It is a longer syntax which, in agreement with some folks, I think
could be shortened (there's a feature request you could submit if you
were so inclined), but there's a few methods you could use.  Two of
which are shown below.

<?php
$foo = 'This seems to bark like a basset hound in PHP';

echo $foo{(strlen($foo) - 1)};
echo substr($foo,-1);
?>
