cut problem

[Markus Stadler]

How can i cut the rest of a string, when i only know that it is
closed with a , ?

Example:

$string = "kyo wa doyoubi desu kara,xxxxxxxxx xx ";

$new = cut_it_right($s tring);

==> $new == "kyo wa doyoubi desu kara,";

Try something like this:

<?php

# To find the last position of a
$pos_last_a = strrpos($string ,"a");

# cut string from start to last position of a
$new = substr($string, 0,($pos_last_a+ 1));

?>

Thank you.
I have overseen the second r in strrpos()
so i have only found strpos() in the doc :)

You could try something like

$string = eregi_replace(" ,.*", "", $string); // first arg is comma dot
asterix - second are two empty quotes

I've not tested the above syntax but I believe it says to replace anything
that follows immediately after the comma with nothing (the empty quotes).
