Re: [PHP] substr trim functions..

[jimtronic]

There are no shortage of ways to do this.

// Using explode() ...

echo array_pop(explode( ,$full_name));

// Using split() ...

echo array_pop(split( ,$full_name));

// Using stristr() 

while($haystack = stristr($haystack, )) {
$haystack = substr($haystack,1);
$last_word = $haystack;
}
echo $last_word;

Plus all the preg_match and regular expression functions...
