how to chop last character from a string

[Anon]

Hi there,

In PERL you can chop a last character from a string by chop($string); in PHP this just gets rid of the white space... how can I do this efficiently in PHP?

Thanks

Hi,

try something like this:

$a = "something";
$b = substring($a,0,strlen($a)-1);

[Anon]

Second line should be:

$b=substr($a,0,strlen($a)-1);

:⁾

Thanks for you help!

Oops,

sorry (I wrote what I thought not what the correct syntax was).
