Separate first letter of a string

  • 772

I need to be able to separate the first letter of a string and put it in a <span>. Example:

$string = "Deportes";

And let the result be:

<h1><span>D</span>eportes</h1>

It can be through PHP, JavaScript or jQuery.

  1. Best Answer

    you can do it with substr() method

    example:

    $string="Deportes";
// seleccionamos de la posicion 1 en adelante
echo substr($string,1);
//eportes
echo "\n";
// seleccionamos de la posiscion 0 a la 1 del string
echo substr($string,0,1); 
//D
echo "\n";
// resultado deseado!
echo "<h1><span>".substr($string,0,1)."</span>".substr($string,1)."</h1>";

  2. In my opinion, the more workload you remove from your server, the more efficient it will be, therefore I suggest that you implement this functionality in javascript jquery

    given the following code you get the desired result without any intervention of your server resources being able to attend other calls to your application.

    const str = "Deportes";
const mayuscula = str.substring(0,1);
const resto = str.substring(1);
$("#Mayuscula").text(mayuscula);
$("#resto").text(resto);
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h1><span id="Mayuscula"></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span id="resto"></span>
