strrchr

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

strrchr Trova l'ultima occorrenza di un carattere in una stringa

Descrizione

strrchr(string $haystack, string $needle): string

Questa funzione restituisce la porzione di haystack che inizia dall'ultima occorrenza di needle e finisce al termine di haystack.

Restituisce false se needle non viene trovato.

Se needle contiene più di un carattere, in PHP 4 si utilizza solo il primo. Questo comportamento è differente rispetto a strchr().

Se needle non è una stringa, viene convertito in un intero e utilizzato come valore ordinale di un carattere.

Example #1 Esempio di uso di strrchr()

<?php
// L'ultima directory in $PATH
$dir = substr(strrchr($PATH, ":"), 1);

// ottiene qualsiasi cosa dopo l'ultimo newline
$text = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
$last = substr(strrchr($text, 10), 1 );
?>

strrchr() è affidabile con i dati binari dal PHP 4.3.0

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);
?>

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/"
?>

$filename = 'strrchr_test.php';
print strrchr( $filename, '.' );

Result:
.php

$other_filename = 'strrchr_test.asp.php';
print  strrchr( $other_filename, '.' );

Result:
.php

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.
- regards from germany

<?php
//strxchr(string haystack, string needle [, bool int leftinclusive [, bool int rightinclusive ]])
function strxchr($haystack, $needle, $l_inclusive = 0, $r_inclusive = 0){
   if(
strrpos($haystack, $needle)){
      
//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.
      
$r_inclusive = ($r_inclusive == 0) ? 1 : 0;

      
//Everything after last $needle in $haystack.
      
$right substr(strrchr($haystack, $needle), $r_inclusive);

      
//Return $left and $right into an array.
      
return array($left, $right);
   } else {
       if(
strrchr($haystack, $needle)) return array('', substr(strrchr($haystack, $needle), $r_inclusive));
       else return
false;
   }
}

to marcokonopacki at hotmail dot com.

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.

$string = "FIELD NUMBER(9) NOT NULL";

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;
}
?>

strrchr is also very useful for finding the extension of a file. For example:

$ext = strrchr($filename, ".");

and $ext will contain the extension of the file, including a ".", if the file has an extension, and FALSE if the file has no extension. If the file has multiple extensions, such as "evilfile.jpg.vbs", then this construction will just return the last extension.

I think that a good way (I don't know if is the best one) to extract a portion from a string:
<?php

$image
= "image.name.jpg";
// get file extension
preg_replace("/.*\.(.*)$/", "$1", $last);
// will result: jpg

?>

Is faster that substr(strrchr...
