Removing Characters to a cretin character

[$username]

Hello All,

    So I am stuck and not sure what function would work best for my case.

 

I have this value    $strg = "test.example.com";

 

I want to remove the 'test.' from the string so that it is just 'example.com'

 

I started to look at ltrim function.

 

But I am not sure how I would read it from left to right till it got to the first '.'.

 

$trimmed = ltrim("test.example.com", " '"*".');

 

If you have any help or a better way please let me know..

 

Thanks

<?php
$strg = "test.example.com";
echo $trimed = substr($strg, strpos($strg,'.')+1);
?>

Damn  that is awesome...  I would have never got that +1

 

 

Thanks!

If I am am now looking to count the number of '.' and if there is only 1 I would bypass the $trimed = substr($strg, strpos($strg,'.')+1);

 

How can I count the '.' in a string?

 

Thanks,

Currently looking in php docs.

Found it!!

 

$str = '312.test.com';

echo substr_count($str, ".");

 

 

This will return the number of times it is in the string,.
