note 120052 added to function.strrpos

i wanted to find a leading space BEFORE a hyphen Crude Oil (Dec) 51.00-56.00 so I had to find the position of the hyphen then subtract that position from the length of the string (to make it a negative number) and then walk left toward the beginning of the string, looking for the first space before the hyphen ex: $str_position_hyphen = strpos($line_new,"-",$str_position_spread); $line_new_length = strlen($line_new); $str_position_hyphen_from_end = $str_position_hyphen - $line_new_length; echo "hyphen position from end = " . $str_position_hyphen_from_end . "<br />\n"; $str_position_space_before_hyphen = strrpos($line_new, " ", $str_position_hyphen_from_end); echo "*** previous space= " . $str_position_space_before_hyphen . "<br />\n"; $line_new = substr_replace($line_new, ",", $str_position_space_before_hyphen, 1 ); echo $line_new . "<br /><br />\n"; ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 67.255.35.203 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.strrpos.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120052 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120052/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120052/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120052/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120052/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120052/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120052/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120052 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120052 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
