The line of the code giving me problem is this:

$pad = ord($text{strlen($text) - 1});


The error I got is

Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in (then the directory of the file with the line code).

Please any help on how I can fix this?

Thanks

Please explain what $text means.

If $text is an array then do

$text[] rather than $text{}

I changed the {} to [] but the code stopped loading.

i have attached a screenshot for you to see.

the first screenshot is the original one while the second screenshot is the one i made the changes as you suggested and it stopped responding.

The problem here now is that your screenshot does not tell what type of data we are expecting $text to be, should it be
array?
string?
integer?
object?

meanwhile ord by nature receives a character as an argument. so my conclusion would be this
ord($text[strlen($text) - 1)]);

The above should be the correct pattern
