deleting stuff at the end of a string

[Anon]

I was woundering how i would delete extra stuff at the end of a string like an extra space at the tip how could that be done.

Just use the trim function.

$newStrWithoutExtraSpace=trim($oldStrWithSpace);

You could also use ereg_replace, like this:

$myVar = "this is some text -- this will be erased --";
$myVar = ereg_replace("-- this will be erased --^", "", $myVar);

Basically it's ereg_replace(REGEXP, REPLACE_WITH, REPLACE_FROM)

Hope this helps... 😃
