Replace /

[Pro.Luv]

Hey,

 

I want to take a URL for example:

 

http://www.website.com/

 

I want to replace the last "/" so that it's like..

 

http://www.website.com

 

But I need to first check if the last "/" exists because not all the URL's I'm parsing has the slash.

I'm not really any good with Regex I appreciate any help

 

Thanks

You could do this without a regex, but here:

 

<?php
$string = 'http://www.website.com/';
$string = preg_replace('~/$~', '', $string);
echo $string;
?>

rtrim($string,'/');

 

If it's there, it will remove it.

[phpSensei]

$url= substr("http://www.google.com/", 0, -1);    // returns http://www.google.com

[DarkWater]

$url= substr("http://www.google.com/", 0, -1);    // returns http://www.google.com

 

That only works if there's actually a slash on the end.  It doesn't do any detection...

 

CV's solution is the best.  Nice one.

I agree.. sometimes, the simplest solution is so elegant it isn't funny (or perhaps it is, depending on your point of view).
