Find an Occurance in a PHP String

[deathdeyfer2002]

All-

 

I have a PHP string that consists of the following.

 

 

$Directory = "DIR/*FILENAME/FILEA/FILEB"

 

Now I am currently using

$Directory = strrchr($Directory, '*');

 

To shorten it to

$Directory = "*FILENAME/FILEA/FILEB"

 

That part is working like a champ.  Where I am running into trouble is I want to make the string look like the following.

 

$Directory = "*FILENAME

 

Now I thought about going X amount of characters over from the * but what happens then 'FILENAME' changes in size.  also tried using the strrchr function but that seems to work from left to right... I need something that works from right to left.

 

 

Any Ideas????

$Directory = "*FILENAME/FILEA/FILEB";
$Directory = substr($Directory, 0, strpos('/', $Directory));

Thanks for taking a look.  I tried that exact code and it doesen't print anything to the screen.  If I break it appart...

$Directory = "*FILENAME/FILEA/FILEB";

$Directory = substr($Directory, 0);

echo $Directory = strpos('/', $Directory);

 

Still Doesn't Display anything.  If I take the strpos part out, then it semi works but doesent do as needed.

Sorry, I had the arguments to subpos around the wrong way.

 

$Directory = "*FILENAME/FILEA/FILEB";
$Directory = substr($Directory, 0, strpos($Directory,'/'));
echo $Directory;
