Re: substr trim functions..

There are no shortage of ways to do this. // Using explode() ... echo array_pop(explode(" ",$full_name)); // Using split() ... echo array_pop(split(" ",$full_name)); // Using stristr() .... while($haystack = stristr($haystack," ")) { $haystack = substr($haystack,1); $last_word = $haystack; } echo "$last_word"; Plus all the preg_match and regular expression functions... http://php.net/explode http://php.net/split http://php.net/stristr jim

I trying to convert some full names to last names only like: -get the subtext from the end until the space "joe blue" -> "blue" "bill western" - "western" Looked around at php.net docs but im not sure...
