Cut off end of String?

[jn148]

I am trying to simply cut off the end of a string - but can't seem to find the answer...

I have a string something like: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\

and I would like to cut off the last two backslashes.

I am new to PHP, please be kind!

simple, here's how:

$yourString = "something";
$yourString = substr($yourString, 0 /* the startindex */, strlen($yourString) - 2 /* number of chars to cut */);

That worked like a charm - THANKS for the quick and accurate reply!!!
