strrchr

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

Find the last occurrence of a character in a string

string strrchr ( string $haystack, mixed $needle )

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 needle contains more than one character, only the first is used. This behavior is different from that of strstr().

If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.

Returns:

This function returns the portion of string, or FALSE if needle is not found.

Changelog:
