Well, chop() is an alias of rtrim(), so it won't work here for, say, trimming control characters at the end of the string like line feeds. trim() is actually the best bit here. Regards, Usamah -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
There is always using substr to mimic the Perl chomp() function. Look thru the comments on http://us.php.net/chop and you'll find a few different ways of doing it. Or just use trim() :-)
