不同语言(包括C sharp和PHP)中的字符串也被认为是字符数组。

知道在理论上数组操作应该比字符串操作快，

$foo = "bar";


$lastChar = strlen($foo) -1;
echo $foo[$lastChar];

$firstChar = 0;
echo $foo[$firstChar];

然而，标准数组函数像

count();

对字符串无效。

从PHP 8开始，你可以使用str_ends_with()

$string = 'testers';
if (\str_ends_with($string, 's') {
    // yes
}

substr($string, -1) 

Siemano，只获取所选目录下的php文件:

$dir    = '/home/zetdoa/ftp/domeny/MY_DOMAIN/projekty/project';
$files = scandir($dir, 1);


foreach($files as $file){
  $n = substr($file, -3);
  if($n == 'php'){
    echo $file.'<br />';
  }
}

substr("testers", -1); // returns "s"

或者，对于多字节字符串:

mb_substr("multibyte string…", -1); // returns "…"

我建议使用Gordon的解决方案，因为它比substr()性能更好:

<?php 

$string = 'abcdef';
$repetitions = 10000000;

echo "\n\n";
echo "----------------------------------\n";
echo $repetitions . " repetitions...\n";
echo "----------------------------------\n";
echo "\n\n";

$start = microtime(true);
for($i=0; $i<$repetitions; $i++)
    $x = substr($string, -1);

echo "substr() took " . (microtime(true) - $start) . "seconds\n";

$start = microtime(true);
for($i=0; $i<$repetitions; $i++)
    $x = $string[strlen($string)-1];

echo "array access took " . (microtime(true) - $start) . "seconds\n";

die();

输出如下所示

 ---------------------------------- 
 10000000 repetitions...
 ----------------------------------

 substr() took 2.0285921096802seconds 
 array access took 1.7474739551544seconds
