 New Comment:

This would break SRP for PHP more than it currently is and creating yet another built-in function
for this would unnecessarily pollute global namespace. Instead of complicating things more by
introducing functions/arguments out of the blue, we should endeavor to simplify things. I'm
against this.

Description:
------------
Hi,

I would like to know if is that possible to add a new argument in a
function strrchr ?
To do the same things of strstr.

strrchr ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, bool $before_needle = false
] )

before_needle
If TRUE, strrchr() returns the part of the haystack before the first
occurrence of the needle (excluding the needle).

Actually i'm forced to write:

substr ( $haystack, 0, strrpos ( $haystack, $needle ) )
