php string function to get substring before the last occurrence of a character

Question

$string = "Hello World Again". echo strrchr($string , ' '); // Gets ' Again' 

Now I want to get "Hello World" from the $string [The substring before the last occurrence of a space ' ' ]. How do I get it??

Answer 1

$string = "Hello World Again"; echo substr($string, 0, strrpos( $string, ' ') ); //Hello World 

If the character isn't found, nothing is echoed

Answer 2

This is kind of a cheap way to do it, but you could split, pop, and then join to get it done:

$string = 'Hello World Again'; $string = explode(' ', $string); array_pop($string); $string = implode(' ', $string);
