Please understand that knowing a little, to advanced features of all functions will help you significantly. It will cut down on research time and you have a better understanding of what function will better fit the situation at hand. While some people will never fully remember all syntax of every function it never hurt anyone in attempting to understand a majority of PHP functionality. :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

print substr($foo, 0, -1);
You could also do this, but it takes more code:
print substr($foo, 0, strlen($foo) - 1);
You could wrap it as a function like so:
function strchop($string, $num_chars_to_chop_off_end)
{
return substr($string, 0, -$num_chars_to_chop_off_end);
}

Hi, Seeing as you are using Windows, why not download the manual as a handy Windows Help File (CHM), that way you wont waste bandwidth online every time you get stumped. http://www.php.net/download-docs.php I recommend the version with user notes as there are also lots of great examples / comments included too. There are also CHM readers for other operating systems (including mobiles), so no excuse for not Reading The Fine Manual any more.

It is a longer syntax which, in agreement with some folks, I think
could be shortened (there's a feature request you could submit if you
were so inclined), but there's a few methods you could use. Two of
which are shown below.
?php
$foo = 'This seems to bark like a basset hound in PHP';
echo $foo{(strlen($foo) - 1)};
echo substr($foo,-1);
?

[PHP] Depreciation message I can't make out....
Hi, I am running Moodle 2.2.3 and using PHP 5.3 on a Linux server with GoDaddy and am getting the message about depreciation after having typed the following command into their cron job manager: /web/cgi-bin/php5_3 $HOME/html/moodle223a/admin/cli/cron.php PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /web/conf/php5.ini on line 1256 in Unknown on line 0 PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /web/conf/php5.ini on line 1257 in Unknown on line 0 br / bDeprecated/b: Directive 'magic_quotes_gpc' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in bUnknown/b on line b0/bbr / Content-type: text/html GoDaddy says that I am using a command that is not adapted to version 5.3 of PHP, but they suggested I contact you to fix it. Also, I do not believe I have access to php5.ini; only they do. But I would need to tell them how to fix this issue. And no one at Moodle.org seems to be able to help. Perhaps it's a Moodle thing; perhaps not, but I thought it wise to contact you. By the way, this message is only sent to me when using version 5.3 of PHP; I have another Moodle site using 5.2 and things go perfectly well, without this message. Regards,

Regards, It's deprecated, not depreciated. That said - magic quotes were marked for deprecation a while ago, so you should be prepared to stop expecting them in your appls. As for the # sign, apparently it is no longer a valid char for comments (deprecated). Remove the magci quotes setting and change your # chars to // or whatever pleases you for your comments. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Depreciation message I can't make out....
According to what i can understand from that message is that you have line(s) starting with # in your php.ini file. A proper ini file should use ; as the beginning from a comment. Check the given file at the given line and change the first # symbol into a ; one. Greetings.

Further, if GoDaddy is responsible for the maintenance of the machine (and they probably are, as I presume it's a shared hosting environment), they need to fix it.
