分享一段PHP制作的中文拼音首字母工具类，_PHP教程

/**
* 汉字拼音首字母工具类
*  注： 英文的字串：不变返回(包括数字)    eg .abc123 => abc123
*      中文字符串：返回拼音首字符        eg. 测试字符串 => CSZFC
*      中英混合串: 返回拼音首字符和英文   eg. 我i我j => WIWJ
*  eg.
*  $py = new str2PY();
* 
*  $result = $py->getInitials('周杰伦');
*
*  //获取首字母
*  $result = $py->getFirstString('abc');  //A
*  $resutl = $py->getFirstString("周杰伦"); //Z
