Re: [PHP] remove last character in a string
First, you'll need to get the length of the str with the str_len() function. After you have that, use the substr() function like Rasmus mentioned.

RE: [PHP] remove last character in a string
Wouldn't it be better to check to see if charicater is indeed a comma before removing it? I was guessing eregi_replace would be the way to go. Am I thinking wrong?

Re: [PHP] remove last character in a string
No you don't. You should go read the substr() docs as well: substr($str,0,-1); -Rasmus On Mon, 22 Apr 2002, Tyler Longren wrote: First, you'll need to get the length of the str with the str_len() function.

Actually, if he uses a negative index in substr(), he doesn't need to know the length of the string.
