Return substring of a string in php

Question

I want to remove string from a string from end.

I tried using strrpos() to get the last occurrence of "|" i got index now i am stuck how to process further

Every time i want string excluding the last occurrence of "|" followed by the text.

explode to an array on the |, pop the last value off that array, implode on | again.... not rocket science.... just 3 lines of code, and no mathematics required — Mark Baker

Mark Baker's solution is more out of the box than a simple substr — Answers_Seeker

If you want the part after the last |:

$mystring = "SomeText1|SomeText2|SomeText3|SomeText4|SomeText5|SomeText6";
$strpos = strrpos($mystring, "|");
echo substr($mystring, $strpos);

If you want the first part before the last |:

$mystring = "SomeText1|SomeText2|SomeText3|SomeText4|SomeText5|SomeText6";
$strpos = strrpos($mystring, "|");
$strlength = strlen(substr($mystring, $strpos));
echo substr($mystring, 0, -$strlength);

Function reference:

chop() is an alias to rtrim(). According to php.net/manual/en/function.chop.php
