I am trying to code to where if a string ends in .html I want to dump the rest of the string, and if there is no .html I want to clear the entire string. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to code this. Any help would be appreciated.

not understanding you...

if the string ends in '.html' then what is there to dump the rest of?... or do you mean the beginning?..

to test if there is '.html' in a string you could do:

<?
if(strpos($string, '.html') != 0) {
echo(".html does exist in string (return true)");
} else {
echo(".html does not exist in string (return false)");
}

?>

will return true on following strings:
*.html
.html***
*.html

if you are testing only the end of the line you will have to do it a little different but it would be easier:

<?
$tmp = trim($string);
$sl = strlen($string);
$last = ($tmp[($sl - 5)]) . ($tmp[($sl - 4)]) . ($tmp[($sl - 3)]) . ($tmp[($sl - 2)]) . ($tmp[($sl - 1)]);
if($last == ".html") {
echo("extension is .html (return true)");
} else {
echo("extension is not .html (return false)");
}

?>

**neither of those little scripts are tested by me - might take a little tweaking to get it perfect but its a general idea of what you might want to do or try

Thanks for the reply. I figured out what I was trying to do w/a preg_match instead.
