you can take the function substr from php in combination with strlen (lenght of a string)
example $string = "1234567890"; $rest = substr($string, 0, strlen($string)-3); // returns "1234567" Success Jeroen Timmers ----- Original Message ----- From: "Renaldo De Silva" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 8:56 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] Need to delete charcters from a string > I need to delete the last 3 character of a string, what command can i use o > do this. > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
