last character

[Anon]

I need to take a URL like, http://www.yahoo.com/ and find out if it has the end slash or not, and if it does, remove it. For example, if I received the URL like this http://www.yahoo.com/ I need to take off the last / but if I recive it like http://www.yahoo.com then I leave it alone. Any ideas?

if (substr($url, -1) == "/")
$url = substr($url, strlen($url) - 1);

Basically, if we pass a negative number to the function substr, we get the tail end of the string for that many characters. So, substr($url, -1) will return the last character of that string.

Then, we simply take the string and chop off the last character by telling it to take the url and return the entire string, minus one character. (strlen($url) -1) ..

Hope that helps!

Something like this should work.

if(substr($url, -1) == '/') {
$url = sbustr($url,0,-1);
}
