Remove Last Character From String

I have a string.

$Order="order1,order2,order3,";

If you noticed, there is a , at the back of order 3. I would like to know how to remove that. Can anyone help pls???

Thank you.
Rdgs.

$Order = "order1,order2,order3,";
$Order = substr(0,strlen($Order)-1,$Order);

Just a note... you have the arguments in the wrong order:

$order = "order1,order2,order3,";
$order = substr($order, 0, -1);

$order will now be: "order1,order2,order3"

There is also a new feature in PHP4.0.7 for rtrim(), which makes it more like the chop() function in perl. If you do have that version, you can use:

$order = "order1,order2,order3,";
$order = rtrim($order, ",");

This allows you to specify the actual characters you want to "chop off".

Ah, indeed, I did. Thanks. And thanks for the rtrim() pointer -- indeed more elegant.
