An amendment, as I read the rest of the thread and realised that I too
had missed out a check for the comma:

substring($entries[$i]['dn'], 0,
(strpos($entries[$i]['dn']?strpos($entries[$i]['dn']-1:strlen($entries[$i]['dn']

It doesn't look pretty, but it should do the trick.

A substring() a strpos() should do the trick:

substring($entries[$i]['dn'], 0, strpos($entries[$i]['dn']-1))

Whoops!

I realized in the explode example I had omitted the call to count (idea
being if you didn't find any comma's, maybe you need to handle those
situations differently):

if (count($sections = explode($delimiter = ',', $string = $your_string)) >
1) echo $sections[0];

Although, if it doesn't matter, you could just do:

echo current(explode(',', $your_string));

And, as mentioned above, strstr() is one simple call if you won't need the
other sections:

echo strstr($your_string, ',' true);

Adam (how could I not offer feedback to one with such a distinguished first
name),

rtrim() removes the characters contained in the second argument, it doesn't
split a string using them.

I would probably use strstr() if I didn't need the other sections, or, if I
needed the other sections for later, I'd use explode:

$your_string =
'CN=NTPRTPS3-LANIER-LD335c-LH107-PPRNP9A92,OU=XXf,OU=XX,OU=X,DC=,DC=xx,DC=xxx,';

echo strstr($haystack = $your_string, $needle = ',', $before_needle = true);

if ($sections = explode($delimiter = ',', $string = $your_string)) echo
current($sections);

Check out substr() with strpos().

[PHP] stripping first comma off and everything after

2010-06-18 Thread Adam 
I'm querying data and have results such as a variable named 
$entries[$i]["dn"]:


CN=NTPRTPS3-LANIER-LD335c-LH107-PPRNP9A92,OU=XXf,OU=XX,OU=X,DC=,DC=xx,DC=xxx 



Basically I need to strip off the first command everything after, so 
that I just have it display CN=NTPRTPS3-LANIER-LD335c-LH107-PPRNP9A92.


I tried echo rtrim($entries[$i]["dn"],","); but that doesn't do 
anything.  Any ideas?
