echo up to a certain character

[jeff5656]

Can someone help me with this.  I think I need to use substr:

 

how do I only echo out everything after the period ( ".")

 

for example if I have "table.birthday" I want to echo: "birthday"

 

 

[joel24]

find the position of the . then return the string after that

i.e.

$string = 'table.birthday';
$position = strpos('.',$string);
$newString = substr($string, $position);
echo $newString;

[jeff5656]

That didnt work.  When i echout out NewString I got the original string:  table.birthday

 

When I echoed out $position, it was blank.

[ted_chou12]

$string = 'table.birthday';
$position = strpos($string, '.');
echo substr($string, $position); //with a dot
echo substr($string, $position + 1); //without a dot

joel24 typed too fast, the inputs are switched

Here is a shorter way:

 

<?php

$old = "table.birthday";
$new = end(explode('.', $old));

?>
