Question

I am retrieving file locations and names from a database, the are in this format

http://domain.com/subdir/etc/etc/etc/picimage-niceone_Main-150×150.jpg

They are all dynamic, so there are hundreds of them all with different names, but one thing is constant is the last – and then the file dimensions.

What i need to do is strip everything after the last – so it turns into the following.

http://domain.com/subdir/etc/etc/etc/picimage-niceone_Main.jpg

Any help would be awesome.

Cheers,

Answer 1

$stringName = "picimage-niceone_Main-150x150.jpg";
$newName = substr($stringName,0,strrpos($stringName,"-")).substr($stringName,-4);

This will remove anything between the last - and the file extension.
