Re: Pattern Replacing

Also consider something like : <?php $var = 'a,b,c,'; $var[strrpos($var,',')] = ' '; print $var; // 'a,b,c ' ?> The idea behind it is similar to this : <?php $s = 'abcabc'; // define our string $s[1] = 'z'; // change second character in $s to 'z' print $s; // azcabc $key = strrpos($s,'c'); // 5 (pos of last 'c' in string $s) print $s[$key]; // c $s[$key] = 'z'; // change sixth character in $s to z print $s; // azcabz ?> Info to know : strrpos() : Find position of last occurrence of a char in a string strpos() : Find position of first occurrence of a char in a string Looks like you found substr() , it helps out for these sorts of things too :) If anyone has more information on this subject, please post.
