FW: [PHP] remove last character in a string

its my understanding that you wish to strip the last character of the string not return it. Putting -1 in the length parameter will just return the last character, it wont get rid of it.... $string = "This is the string,"; $str_length = strlen($string); if (substr($string,0,-1) == ",") { //Strip $formatted_str = substr($string,0,str_length-1); } else { //Dont strip // } That should work but I didnt test it ;) Regards Jarrad Kabral -----Original Message----- From: Tyler Longren [mailto:tyler@captainjack.com] Sent: Tuesday, 23 April 2002 1:57 PM To: Evan Nemerson; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] remove last character in a string Because I'm kinda stupid. :) tyler ----- Original Message ----- From: "Evan Nemerson" <evan@coeus-group.com> To: "Tyler Longren" <tyler@captainjack.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 10:53 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] remove last character in a string > Why get strlen involved??? > > $string = substr("$string", 0, -1); > > > > -- > He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of > nature. > > Socrates > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
