How do I reverse a string in PHP?


On rare occasions, you might find yourself really wanting to reverse a string in PHP.

Now you could write yourself a custom function to do this for you, but as ever, PHP has thoughtfully thought of you and written a function that will take the strain so that you don't have to.

It is extremely simple, so here it is in operation:

<?php

$data 
"lets go backwards";

echo 
strrev($data);
//sdrawkcab og stel
?>


Now you might not be able to come up with immediately any useful applications of this, but they do exist, and when you come across one such application of the function you'll be glad you knew that it existed!
