I'm sure there's a better way to strip strings from the end of strings.



<?php

/**

 * Strip a string from the end of a string

 *

 * @param string $str      the input string

 * @param string $remove   OPTIONAL string to remove

 *  

 * @return string the modified string

  */

function rstrtrim($str, $remove=null)

{

    $str    = (string)$str;

    $remove = (string)$remove;    

    

    if(empty($remove))

    {

        return rtrim($str);

    }

    

    $len = strlen($remove);

    $offset = strlen($str)-$len;

    while($offset > 0 && $offset == strpos($str, $remove, $offset))

    {

        $str = substr($str, 0, $offset);

        $offset = strlen($str)-$len;

    }

    

    return rtrim($str);    

    

} //End of function rstrtrim($str, $remove=null)



echo rstrtrim('Hello World!!!', '!')   .'<br />'; //"Hello World"

echo rstrtrim('Hello World!!!', '!!')  .'<br />'; //"Hello World!"

echo rstrtrim('Hello World!!!', '!!!') .'<br />'; //"Hello World"

echo rstrtrim('Hello World!!!', '!!!!').'<br />'; //"Hello World!!!"

?>
