$string = substr($string, 0, -1);

Actually, if he uses a negative index in substr(), he doesn't need to
know the length of the string.

First, you'll need to get the length of the str with the str_len()
function.
After you have that, use the substr() function like Rasmus mentioned.

Yeah, I thought about that and said to myself "That's not right".  But I had
already clicked the "Send" button and the message was no longer in my

No you don't.  You should go read the substr() docs as well:

substr($str,0,-1);

RE: [PHP] remove last character in a string

2002-04-22 Thread Craig Westerman

Wouldn't it be better to check to see if charicater is indeed a comma before
removing it?

I was guessing eregi_replace would be the way to go.

Am I thinking wrong?
