You can test this function directly online there: http://motions.sytes.net/funny_ltrim.php Reproduce code: --------------- $url="C:\\dir1\\dir2\\filename.txt"; echo "<br>"; $url = ltrim(strrchr($url,'\x5c'),'\x5c'); echo $url; // ok output: filename.txt $url="C:\\dir1\\dir2\\cfilename.txt"; echo "<br>"; $url = ltrim(strrchr($url,'\x5c'),'\x5c'); echo $url; // output: again filename.txt but should be cfilename.txt // WHERE IS THE "C" CHARACTER? Expected result: ---------------- filename.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35584&edit=1
