PHP Code Snippet to replace last instance of a string

Tim Priebe — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:47:37 +0000

I haven’t posted any code to this site before, but this one is so useful and short that I figured I’d make an exception.

Here’s a PHP function to replace the last instance of a substring in another string:


function str_replace_last($search, $replace, $subject) {
	return strrev(preg_replace('/'.strrev($search).'/', strrev($replace), strrev($subject),1));
}

That’s it!

Looks like George Lucas is going to be working with Robert Zemeckis on a fourth installment in the Back to the Future movie franchise.

Just kidding.

Been planning this for ages

Mario, Luigi and Yoshi get Fortune Cookies

I got Super Mario Galaxy 2 for my birthday a couple months back. I’ve been playing through it ever since, so this comic is especially funny for me right now.

Spotted this driving around OKC. Not as cool as the Mario turtle shell trailer hitch cover, but still…

Add me as a friend on foursquare

Are you on foursquare? Add me as a friend!

What is foursquare? According to Wikipedia’s foursquare article…

Foursquare is a location-based social networking website, software for mobile devices, and also a game. Users “check-in” at venues using a mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application. They are then awarded points and sometimes “badges.”

Also, theoretically some places will give you discounts if you check in at their location, though I haven’t run into that yet.

Less than a week after Leann downloaded the iPhone app, she was Mayor of the Sonic closest to our house. Big surprise…

I’ve also replaced my MySpace link in the sidebar with my foursquare link. End of an era, or something like that.

Awesome Trailer Hitch Cover

Saw this awesome trailer hitch cover when some of us from work went to Starbucks earlier today. Elyssa commented that it should have been red.

High-res glossy PHP logo

I’ve never been a big fan of the official PHP logo. I was working on a blog post for our T&S blog and had a need for a version of the PHP logo that was recognizable, but tweaked just enough to look better. I decided to go with a look similar to the Dreamweaver 8 logo.

Anyway, here’s the resulting glossy PHP logo. If you like it, feel free to use it. It was made entirely without anyone’s permission. Click it for a bigger version.

Found some great, funny superhero cards from ’78, the year I was born. Here are a couple of my favorites.
