an array is an array.
a string is a string.

characters in a string can be accessed using array-like notation using the
offset postion of the relevant char (elements are zero based)

I'd tell you to RTFM (although I did tell you to read the manual regarding
the specifics of using preg_replace()'s 'e' modifier after showing you a

I did berate the fact that you waited no more than 7 minutes before
sending a 'help me' reminder regarding your original post.
