Is it possible to check the fields?

Question

My problem is, "I have one array which stores data from duas combos. In a combo i add "P" and then the entered value. Ex: P111111111. And the next I add at the beginning "S" and it gets S11111111. But in my bank table I have separate fields for the P and to the S, and so I wonder if you have how to make a insert to check if the first letter is P or S, in order to be able to insert in their due fields!

Answer 1

yes... a way to do this in php:

$str = $_ POST ou GET['sua variavel']

$posição1 = str_split($str,1);

switch ($posição1) {
    case 'P': //Faz o que voce quer;
    break;
    case 'S': //Faz o que voce quer;
    break;
    default: break;
}

Answer 2

Another way to extract the first character from a string is to use replace

$char = substr($str, 0, 1); //copia um caracter da posição zero

or pass variable zero index

$char = $str[0];
