Hi i have a string like
$x = 'something1' or $x = 'heyho2'

i need to remove the integer at the end of each string...

how could i do this?

thx RedDragon

you want a sequence one or more digits followed by a string, so you should look up
1) how a digit is expressed in a pattern
2) what quantifier is used for one or more occurences
3) what assertion character to use for the end of the string

a search for the above keywords on thís page should easily get you what you need.

put these element together, don't forget the delimiters, and use an empty string as replacement argument.

Is the integer always going to be at the end of the string? Because if it is, you can use substr.

<?php

$variable = "heyhey9";
$variable = substr($variable,0,-1);
echo $variable;

?>
