derek@slashview.com notes a great replacement for strrpos because of the single character needle limitation in the strrpos function. He made a slight error in the code. He adds the length of the needle string instead of subtracting it from the final position. The function should be: function strlastpos($haystack, $needle) { # flip both strings around and search, then adjust position based on string lengths return strlen($haystack) - strlen($needle) - strpos(strrev($haystack), strrev($needle)); } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strrpos.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34021 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34021&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34021&report=yes
