I think you _really_ meant: $string = substr($string, 0, strrpos($string,',')-1); Or: $string = ereg_replace(",\$", '', $string); If you _always_ want to remove the last character, you can simply $string = substr($string, 0, -1); see: http://www.php.net/manual/function.ereg-replace.php http://www.php.net/manual/function.substr.php I'm pretty sure you can use preg_replace() here as well, for a slight speedup: $string = preg_replace(",\$", '', $string); See: http://www.php.net/manual/function.preg-replace.php -steve
