# strrchr

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

strrchr -- Find the last occurrence of a character in a string

## Description

string strrchr ( string haystack, string needle )

This function returns the portion of `haystack` which starts at the last occurrence of `needle` and goes until the end of `haystack`.

Returns `FALSE` if `needle` is not found.

If `needle` contains more than one character, only the first is used. This behavior is different from that of strchr().

If `needle` is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.

Example 1. strrchr() example

`<?php // get last directory in $PATH $dir = substr(strrchr($PATH, ":"), 1); // get everything after last newline $text = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"; $last = substr(strrchr($text, 10), 1 ); ?>`

strrchr() has been binary safe since PHP 4.3.0
