In PHP, the `ord()` function is used to get the ASCII value of the first character of a string. Here’s how you can use it with an example:
<?php // Example string $string = "Hello"; // Using ord() function to get ASCII value of the first character $asciiValue = ord($string[0]); // Displaying the ASCII value echo "ASCII value of the first character '" . $string[0] . "' in the string '" . $string . "' is: " . $asciiValue; ?>
Output:
ASCII value of the first character 'H' in the string 'Hello' is: 72
In this example, we have a string `”Hello”`, and we use the `ord()` function to get the ASCII value of the first character `’H’`. The ASCII value of `’H’` is 72, so the output is `”ASCII value of the first character ‘H’ in the string ‘Hello’ is: 72″`.
