Formatting echo from database


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

So I have a database that stores First and last names, then echos them back to a website, as of now the entire first and last name echos back (John Smith) I want the last name to just display the last letter and a . (John S.) here's my code for echoing the database

Code: <?PHP
$res = mysql_query("SELECT id, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%M %D %Y') as dt, firstname, lastname, testimonial FROM testimonials ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
echo "<p align="right"><i>{$row['firstname']} {$row['lastname']}<br />{$row['dt']}</i></p><br /><br />{$row['testimonial']}<br /><hr width="80%" color="#000000"><br />";
}
?>
