(PHP 4, PHP 5)
strrchr — Find the last occurrence of a character in a string
This function returns the portion of haystack which starts at the last occurrence of needle and goes until the end of haystack .
The string to search in
If needle contains more than one character, only the first is used. This behavior is different from that of strstr().
If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.
This function returns the portion of string, or FALSE if needle is not found.
