Here's the low memory version: <?php $str = '1234567'; str_reverse_in_place( $str ); echo 'Reversed: '.$str."\n"; function str_reverse_in_place( &$str ) { $a = 0; $z = strlen( $str ) - 1; while( $a < $z ) { $t = $str[$a]; $str[$a] = $str[$z]; $str[$z] = $t; ++$a; --$z; } } ?> Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
