great! thanks!

but i have some strings like

\WWW.ARMORATL.COM\

and

\TOLL FREE-DIAL \

and so on...

how about if the toll free changes?

If you always only need the thing before the first backslash, then you could do:

 

strstr($string, '\\', true);

thanks!

 

is this right?

59: $newdata[2] = strstr($olddata[2], '\\', true);
60: $newdata[3] = strstr($olddata[3], '\\', true);
61: $newdata[4] = strstr($olddata[4], '\\', true);

there is an error.

Ah, sorry. I didn't realize that the third parameter is added in 5.3 which is not yet released. Try this instead:

 

substr($string, 0, strpos($string, '\\')-1);
