strrchr

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

strrchr文字列中に文字が最後に現れる場所を取得する

説明

string strrchr ( string $haystack , mixed $needle )

この関数は、文字列 haystack の中で needle が最後に現れた位置から、 haystack の終わりまでを返します。

パラメータ

haystack

検索を行う文字列。

needle

needle がひとつ以上の文字を含んでいる場合は、 最初のもののみが使われます。この動作は、 strstr() とは異なります。

needle が文字列でない場合は、 それを整数に変換し、その番号に対応する文字として扱います。

返り値

この関数は、部分文字列を返します。 needle が見つからない場合は FALSE を返します。

変更履歴

バージョン 説明
4.3.0 この関数はバイナリセーフとなりました。

例1 strrchr() の例

<?php
// $PATH 中の最後のディレクトリを取得
$dir substr(strrchr($PATH":"), 1);

// 最後の改行文字以降をすべて取得
$text "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
$last substr(strrchr($text10), );
?>

注意

注意: この関数はバイナリデータに対応しています。

参考

  • strstr() - 文字列が最初に現れる位置を見つける
  • strrpos() - 文字列中に、ある部分文字列が最後に現れる場所を探す

to: repley at freemail dot it

the code works very well, but as i was trying to cut script names (e.g.: $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] => /index.php, cut the string at "/" and return "index.php") it returned nothing (false). i've modified your code and now it works also if the needle is the first char.
- regards from germany

<?php
//strxchr(string haystack, string needle [, bool int leftinclusive [, bool int rightinclusive ]])
function strxchr($haystack, $needle, $l_inclusive = 0, $r_inclusive = 0){
   if(
strrpos($haystack, $needle)){
      
//Everything before last $needle in $haystack.
      
$left substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) + $l_inclusive);
 
      
//Switch value of $r_inclusive from 0 to 1 and viceversa.
      
$r_inclusive = ($r_inclusive == 0) ? 1 : 0;
 
      
//Everything after last $needle in $haystack.
      
$right substr(strrchr($haystack, $needle), $r_inclusive);
 
      
//Return $left and $right into an array.
      
return array($left, $right);

strrchr($haystack, $needle)) return array('', substr(strrchr($haystack, $needle), $r_inclusive));

To extract your portion of a string without the actual character you searched for, you can use:

<?php
$path
= '/www/public_html/index.html';
$filename = substr(strrchr($path, "/"), 1);
echo
$filename; // "index.html"
?>

Here is my function that returns the type of a file. I fint it easier to add other types of files, and simplier than the rest i have seen around.

<?php
function findExt($filename){
   
$exts = array(
       
'.jpg' => 'image',
       
'.png' => 'image',
       
'.php' => 'php',
       
'.html' => 'html',
       
'.swf' => 'flash',
       
'.gz' => 'compressed',
       
'.tar' => 'compressed',
    );
   
$ext = strrchr($filename,'.');
    if (
$exts[$ext]) { return $exts[$ext]; }
    else { return
"unknown"; }
}

to marcokonopacki at hotmail dot com.

I had to make a slight change in your function for it to return the complete needle inclusive.

// Reverse search of strrchr.
function strrrchr($haystack,$needle)
{

   // Returns everything before $needle (inclusive).
   //return substr($haystack,0,strpos($haystack,$needle)+1);
   // becomes
   return substr($haystack,0,strpos($haystack,$needle)+strlen($needle));
}

Note: the +1 becomes +strlen($needle)

Otherwise it only returns the first character in needle backwards.

The function provided by marcokonopacki at hotmail dot com isn't really a reverse-version of strrchr(), rather a reverse version of strchr(). It returns everything from the start of $haystack up to the FIRST instance of the $needle. This is basically a reverse of the behavior which you expect from strchr(). A reverse version of strrchr() would return everything in $haystack up to the LAST instance of $needle, eg:

<?php
// reverse strrchr() - PHP v4.0b3 and above
function reverse_strrchr($haystack, $needle)
{
   
$pos = strrpos($haystack, $needle);
    if(
$pos === false) {
        return
$haystack;
    }
    return
substr($haystack, 0, $pos + 1);
}
?>

Note that this function will need to be modified slightly to work with pre 4.0b3 versions of PHP due to the return type of strrpos() ('0' is not necessarily 'false'). Check the documentation on strrpos() for more info.

A function like this can be useful for extracting the path to a script, for example:

<?
$string
= "/path/to/the/file/filename.php";

echo
reverse_strrchr($string, '/'); // will echo "/path/to/the/file/"
?>

strrchr is also very useful for finding the extension of a file. For example:

$ext = strrchr($filename, ".");

and $ext will contain the extension of the file, including a ".", if the file has an extension, and FALSE if the file has no extension. If the file has multiple extensions, such as "evilfile.jpg.vbs", then this construction will just return the last extension.

Get file name and extension into an array with or without dot, using strrchr and strrchr_reverse.

<?
//strxchr(string haystack, string needle [, bool int leftinclusive [, bool int rightinclusive ]])
function strxchr($haystack, $needle, $l_inclusive = 0, $r_inclusive = 0){
   if(
strrpos($haystack, $needle)){
      
//Everything before last $needle in $haystack.
      
$left substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) + $l_inclusive);
 
      
//Switch value of $r_inclusive from 0 to 1 and viceversa.
      
$r_inclusive = ($r_inclusive == 0) ? 1 : 0;
 
      
//Everything after last $needle in $haystack.
      
$right substr(strrchr($haystack, $needle), $r_inclusive);
 
      
//Return $left and $right into an array.
      
$a = array($left, $right);
       return
$a;
   }else{
       return
false;
   }
}

//start test
$haystack = "unknown.txt.log.......gif.....jpeg";
$needle = ".";
$l_inclusive = 1; //1 for inclusive mode, 0 for NOT inclusive mode
$r_inclusive = 1; //1 for inclusive mode, 0 for NOT inclusive mode

$a = strxchr($haystack, $needle, $l_inclusive, $r_inclusive);
if(
$a){echo "Left: <strong>" . $a[0] . "</strong><br /> Right: <strong>" . $a[1] . "</strong>";}else{echo "Failed!";}
//end test
?>

Thanks to all.

just a small addition to carlos dot lage at gmail dot com note which makes it a bit more useful and flexible:

<?php
// return everything up to last instance of needle
// use $trail to include needle chars including and past last needle
function reverse_strrchr($haystack, $needle, $trail) {
    return
strrpos($haystack, $needle) ? substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) + $trail) : false;
}
// usage:
$ns = (reverse_strrchr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"], "/", 0));
$ns2 = (reverse_strrchr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"], "/", 1));
echo(
$ns . "<br>" . $ns2);

A quick way to get file's extension (if it has one, otherwise you get an empty string), which can be used when you want to rename the file but keep the old extension. Or for similar purposes. Temporary variable is used just because it's slightly faster to store the value than to run the strrchr() function again.

<?php
$ext
= substr(($t=strrchr("file.ext",'.'))!==false?$t:'',1);
?>

Easiest way to get the domain off of an email:

<?php

$domain
= strrchr($email, '@');

// gets @gmail.com, with the preceding @.

?>

It's not perfect (see above in the manual), but it's pretty damn good.

this functions returns the full path of the current directory.
 
<?php

function CurrentFullPath()
{
   
$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ;
   
$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ;
    return
$root.mb_substr($self,0,-mb_strlen(strrchr($self,"/"))) ;
}

echo
CurrentFullPath() ;

/*

If path is $path = "/home/me/www/pictures/control.php" ;

It will return :

/home/me/www/pictures

*/

strrchr is useful also in determining file extensions.

Here is a sample code that determines the file type based on its file extension. This is useful in displaying the files in your page, without using the database for the file description list.

<?php
 
/* File Extension Display using arrays
     by: Emmanuel Quiban (Philippines)
     BSCS 2002, AdU
     21-May-2008
 */

 // Sample file
 
$filesample = "Mydocu.doc";

 
//Array for file description. You can expand the array list further with other file types you want
 
$filedes = array(
               
"Microsoft Excel Worksheet",
               
"Microsoft Word Document",
               
"Adobe Reader PDF File");

 
//Array for file extensions. Please take note that positions between the two arrays should be in sync with each other for correct file description.
 
$fileext = array(".xls", ".doc", ".pdf");

 
//This gets the file extension
 
$ext = strrchr($filesample,'.');

 
//This conditional statement checks if the file extension given is in the array and matches it with the file description
 
if (in_array($ext,$fileext)) {

       
//Search the array
       
$ext2 = array_search($ext, $fileext);

       
//Since the result of the array_search is in integer, you can now assign it as an array value
       
$filetype = $filedes[$ext2];

       
//Show the result
       
echo $filetype;
 } else {
       
$filetype = "Unknown file type";
 }
?>
-----
The output of the script above is:
Microsoft Word Document

Let's say even if the filename looks like "My.Docu.doc", strrchr still gets the value ".doc" because it gets the last occurance of the dot.
-----

You can also make it as a function, like this:

<?php
 
/* File Extension Display using arrays
     by: Emmanuel Quiban (Philippines)
     BSCS 2002, AdU
     21-May-2008
 */
 
function getFileType($yourfile){

 
$filedes = array(
               
"CompuServe GIF Image",
               
"JPEG Image",
               
"Portable Network Graphics (PNG) Image"
               
);

 
$fileext = array(".gif",".jpg",".png");

 
$ext = strrchr($yourfile,'.');
 if (
in_array($ext,$fileext)) {
       
$ext2 = array_search($ext, $fileext);
       
$filetype = $filedes[$ext2];
 } else {
       
$filetype = "Unknown file type";
 }

 return
$filetype;
 }
?>

Final get file name and extension into an array with or without dot, using strrchr and strrchr_reverse.
Note our use of !==. Now work if the position of $needle in $haystack was the 0th (first) character like ".htaccess"
<?
//strxchr(string haystack, string needle [, bool int leftinclusive [, bool int rightinclusive ]])
function strxchr($haystack, $needle, $l_inclusive = 0, $r_inclusive = 0){
  
//Note our use of !==. Now work if the position of $needle in $haystack was the 0th (first) character.
  
if(strrpos($haystack, $needle) !== false){
      
//Everything before last $needle in $haystack.
      
$left substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) + $l_inclusive);
      
//Switch value of $r_inclusive from 0 to 1 and viceversa.
      
$r_inclusive = ($r_inclusive == 0) ? 1 : 0;
      
//Everything after last $needle in $haystack.
      
$right substr(strrchr($haystack, $needle), $r_inclusive);
      
//Return $left and $right into an array.
      
$a = array($left, $right);
       return
$a;
   }else{
       return
false;
   }
}

I used dchris1 at bigpond dot net dot au 's reverse strrchr and reduced it to one line of code and fixed it's functionality - the real strrchr() returns FALSE if the needle is not found, not the haystack :)

<?php

function reverse_strrchr($haystack, $needle)
{
                return
strrpos($haystack, $needle) ? substr($haystack, 0, strrpos($haystack, $needle) +1 ) : false;

i just recently did a function, that uses strrchr to format - let's say a currency - with 2 decimals. can also be done using number_format but you may NOT always want an automatic rounding of your decimals. thats there this function comes in handy:

<?php
function formatTwoDecimals($value, $trim)
{
  
$after_comma = substr(strrchr($value, $trim), 0, 3);
  
$in_front_of_comma = (int) $value;
  
$final = $in_front_of_comma . $after_comma;

   return
$final;
}

echo
formatTwoDecimals("365.6078985", ".");
?>

this will produce
365.60

instead of
365.61
which will show up then you use number_format.
