How can I strip some text of all but the first letter?
I'm making a PHP program that has categories #-Z and I need to strip an input of all but the first letter. I have no idea how to do this. Say someone was to input "My First Song" I want all but the "M" to be stripped. Can anyone tell me how this can be done?
