its my understanding that you wish to strip the last character of the string
not return it. Putting -1 in the length parameter will just return the last
character, it wont get rid of it....
$string = "This is the string,";
$str_length = strlen($string);
if (substr($string,0,-1) == ",") {
//Strip
$formatted_str = substr($string,0,str_length-1);
} else {
//Dont strip
//
}
That should work but I didnt test it ;)
