Rather use rtrim(). Usage of chop() is not very clear nor consistent for people reading the code after you.
This function is an alias of: rtrim().
Note:
chop() is different than the Perl chop() function, which removes the last character in the string.
Rather use rtrim(). Usage of chop() is not very clear nor consistent for people reading the code after you.
If you are searching for a function that does the same trick as chop in PERL, then you should just do the following code:
<?php
$str = substr($str, 0, -1);
?>
The question is: why isn't chop() an alias of the code above, rather than something which will trap developpers?
//simple example function for chop()
<?php
echo "<pre>";//without <pre> you cann't see desired output in your browser
echo chop(" Ramki ");//right spaces are eliminated
echo chop("Ramkrishna", "a..z");
echo "</pre>";
?>
/*output
------
RamkiR*/
Another possible one would be to use this:
<?php
function chup(){
$ar=Array();
foreach(func_get_args() as $b) {
push($ar,$b[strlen($b)-1]);
&$b[strlen($b)-1]='';
}
return $ar;
}
?>
If you wanted to perl-chop a va list of strings and return the removed chars. Obviously you can easily mod it for va list arrays of strings and the like.
