Parse part of string (mid string function ?)

[mimages]

Can someone tell me how to parse part of a string? I can use the following:

<?php
$text = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; //$PHP_SELF //(document.url);
echo $text;
?>

to get this result:

"Your currently at /test.php "

I just want to get "test.php " without the dash. I also need to parse out
parts of other strings. I know how to use Mid(), Left(), and Right() in VB,
but no clue for PHP.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

check the substr() function @ http://www.php.net/substr.

I noticed that Message-ID:
<9VAcb.24771$Ci 5.563011@twiste r.tampabay.rr.c om> from mimages contained
the following:

<?php
$text = str_replace("/","","$_SER VER[PHP_SELF]");
echo $text;
?>

$text = array_pop(split ('/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
echo $text;


Just as another example.. although not tested for efficiency =)

You didn't test your code works so as to answer more questions, thus improving
your efficiency

or
You didn't test the speed your code ran an vs the speed of the other to see
which was more efficient

Wow, basename, I don't think I'd have thought of this one. I'll try it.
Thanks!
