Re: Stripping out last 3 characters??

> > How do I strip out the last 3 characters of any given string? > I'm not sure if you mean remove the last three and retain the original string, or retain the last three. If you want to do something with the last three characters of a string here are two options: $last3 = strrev(substr(strrev($mystring),0,3)); $last3 = substr($mystring,strlen($mystring)-3); If you want to remove the last three and keep what's left: $allbutlast3 = substr($mystring,0,strlen($mystring)-3); Hope this helps, Joe
