chop() as in Perl 1

[soundmind]

Hi,

In Perl, the chop() function removes the last character of the string. I'm looking for a function in PHP that does that.

Could you please help me?

I'm getting my data from the database but it's in 4 digits - I only want the last two. Is there a function to do this or do I have to create one that will work. Even then I have no clue.


Thanks!

The PHP manual says:
Note: chop() is different than the Perl chop() function, which removes the last character in the string.

The PHP chop() function is what chomp() is in PERL.
To get a 2 charachters from the right:

$foo = substr($foo, 0, -1);
