(PHP 4, PHP 5)
strrchr — Find the last occurrence of a character in a string
This function returns the portion of haystack
which
starts at the last occurrence of needle
and goes
until the end of haystack
.
haystack
The string to search in
needle
If needle
contains more than one character,
only the first is used. This behavior is different from that of
strstr().
If needle
is not a string, it is converted to
an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.
This function returns the portion of string, or FALSE
if
needle
is not found.
