Just doing an ego search, noticed this old thread. I think all of you have missed my point- I was
trying to emulate perl's chop() function, *NOT* perl's chomp() function. I just called it
chomp() in PHP as chop() is already taken.
Perl's chop() does two very important things (in my arrogant opinion):
-If given an array, it will chop() every element in the array
-It returns the character removed (leading to some while loops which certain people would murder you
for using, and certain other people would go out of their way to use)
I guess calling it chomp() was a bad idea.. pretend I said "perl_chop()" instead.
