Works -- you'll have to experiment, but I believe the second way is correct,
and will echo the first (0th) character in the string.

This depends on PHP version. In the bad old days you had to use $str[0]. Sometime since PHP4 came out they added the preferred $str{0} option, which is the only one that should be used in new code. Extracting characters from a string with [] is depreciated, and may stop working someday.
