PHP : A way to print text before a delimeter !
I've found a way inphp through which you can print the text before a delimeter.
For example, you have the string asdf,hkl,erty
And you want to print anything before first comma, then you can use following php code,
I've used inbuilt array_shift and explode methods to achieve the desired resultPHP Code:<?php
function strstrb($haystack,$needle){
return array_shift(explode($needle,$haystack,2));
}
//example
echo strstrb('asdf,hkl,erty',',');
// output: asdf
?>

Another way which I would like to share.. It uses string reverse funtion
It also gives same outputPHP Code:<?php
//$needle is delimeter and $haystack is actual string
function strstrbef($haystack, $needle)
{
$needle=strrev($needle);
$haystack=strrev($haystack);
$result=strstr($haystack,$needle);
$result=substr($haystack,strlen($needle));
$result=strrev($result);
return $result;
}
?>
