Hi,

 

I have a dynamic variable like this:

 

/def/g/qaz/pol/cxz/cba/abc

 

I only wish to keep this:

 

/def/g/qaz/pol/cxz

 

How would I do this?

 

Thanks,

Huh? Can you elaborate a bit, perhaps?

I have a random string with a value of:

/def/g/qaz/pol/cxz/cba/abc

 

Now I wish to remove /cba/abc from the end.

Is it always going to be the same number of string 'parts' removed, or kept?

Yes the same 'parts'

So which one is it? Always keep the first 4, or always strip the last 2? We're not mind readers, you know.

Sorry I misunderstood your question, Always strip the last 2.

 

Thanks,

$str = '/def/g/qaz/pol/cxz/cba/abc';
echo preg_replace('#(?:/[^/]+){2}$#', '', $str);

[mme]

$str = '/def/g/qaz/pol/cxz/cba/abc';
echo preg_replace('#(?:/[^/]+){2}$#', '', $str);

 

Thanks so much!

 

All solved now
