strrchr
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
strrchr — Find the last occurrence of a character in a string
Description
This function returns the portion of haystack which
starts at the last occurrence of needle and goes
until the end of haystack.
Parameters
-
haystack -
The string to search in
-
needle -
If
needlecontains more than one character, only the first is used. This behavior is different from that of strstr().If
needleis not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.
Return Values
This function returns the portion of string, or FALSE if
needle is not found.

The function provided by marcokonopacki at hotmail dot com isn't really a reverse-version of strrchr(), rather a reverse version of strchr(). It returns everything from the start of $haystack up to the FIRST instance of the $needle. This is basically a reverse of the behavior which you expect from strchr(). A reverse version of strrchr() would return everything in $haystack up to the LAST instance of $needle, eg:
<?php
// reverse strrchr() - PHP v4.0b3 and above
function reverse_strrchr($haystack, $needle)
{
$pos = strrpos($haystack, $needle);
if($pos === false) {
return $haystack;
}
return substr($haystack, 0, $pos + 1);
}
?>
Note that this function will need to be modified slightly to work with pre 4.0b3 versions of PHP due to the return type of strrpos() ('0' is not necessarily 'false'). Check the documentation on strrpos() for more info.
A function like this can be useful for extracting the path to a script, for example:
<?
$string = "/path/to/the/file/filename.php";
echo reverse_strrchr($string, '/'); // will echo "/path/to/the/file/"
?>
I used dchris1 at bigpond dot net dot au 's reverse strrchr and reduced it to one line of code and fixed it's functionality - the real strrchr() returns FALSE if the needle is not found, not the haystack :)
<?php
// reverse strrchr()
function reverse_strrchr($haystack, $needle)
{
return strrpos($haystack, $needle) ? substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) +1 ) : false;
}
?>
$filename = 'strrchr_test.php';
print strrchr( $filename, '.' );
Result:
.php
$other_filename = 'strrchr_test.asp.php';
print strrchr( $other_filename, '.' );
Result:
.php

I had to make a slight change in your function for it to return the complete needle inclusive.
// Reverse search of strrchr.
function strrrchr($haystack,$needle)
{
// Returns everything before $needle (inclusive).
//return substr($haystack,0,strpos($haystack,$needle)+1);
// becomes
return substr($haystack,0,strpos($haystack,$needle)+strlen($needle));
}
Note: the +1 becomes +strlen($needle)
Otherwise it only returns the first character in needle backwards.
just a small addition to carlos dot lage at gmail dot com note which makes it a bit more useful and flexible:
<?php
// return everything up to last instance of needle
// use $trail to include needle chars including and past last needle
function reverse_strrchr($haystack, $needle, $trail) {
return strrpos($haystack, $needle) ? substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) + $trail) : false;
}
// usage:
$ns = (reverse_strrchr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"], "/", 0));
$ns2 = (reverse_strrchr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"], "/", 1));
echo($ns . "<br>" . $ns2);
?>
to: repley at freemail dot it
the code works very well, but as i was trying to cut script names (e.g.: $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] => /index.php, cut the string at "/" and return "index.php") it returned nothing (false). i've modified your code and now it works also if the needle is the first char.

//strxchr(string haystack, string needle [, bool int leftinclusive [, bool int rightinclusive ]])
function strxchr($haystack, $needle, $l_inclusive = 0, $r_inclusive = 0){

//Everything before last $needle in $haystack.
$left = substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) + $l_inclusive);
//Switch value of $r_inclusive from 0 to 1 and viceversa.
