PHP chop() Function

chop() function is a string function in PHP, it is used to remove the whitespaces or/and specified character/string from the end of the string.

Syntax:

    chop(string, [char/string]) : string

Here,

• string is the main string.
• char/string is an optional parameter, if specifies the single character or set of characters to be removed from the end of the string. If we do not specify the char/string it removes the spaces.

Examples:

    Input:
    str = "IncludeHelp.com#"
    char/string to remove "#"
    Output:
    "IncludeHelp.com"
    Input:
    str = "IncludeHelp.com#"
    char/string to remove "com#"
    Output:
    "IncludeHelp."

    Input:
    str = "IncludeHelp.com#"
    char/string to remove ".com#"
    Output:
    "IncludeHelp"

PHP code:

<?php
	$str = "IncludeHelp.com#";
	
	//removing "#"
	echo (chop($str, "#")."\n");
	//removing "com#"
	echo (chop($str, "com#")."\n");
	//removing ".com#"
	echo (chop($str, ".com#")."\n");
?>

Output
