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. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chop.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39287 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39287&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39287&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
