note 51818 added to function.explode

I only have access to a really old ver. of php so when I had to come up with a way to grab a filename w/o the suffix (.whatever) i came up with this: function remSuffix ($inputString) { $origString = $inputString; $inputString = explode(".",strrev($inputString),2); if (strlen($inputString[1])<>0) { return strrev($inputString[1]); } else return $origString; } takes string, if it has a '.', it returns everything in front of the last occurence of '.' so : echo remSuffix("some.file.txt"); will return some.file echo remSuffix("somefile.txt"); will return somefile if there is no '.' present, then the entire string is returned. echo remSuffix("somefiletxt"); will return somefiletxt from the docs, it seems that in php5 that this can be accomplished by using a -ve limiter so use that instead of you have it! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51818 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51818&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51818&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51818&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51818&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51818&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51818&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
