    Simple with substr

    
substr("vasil76|12352 petr0|54323 sidor80|22222 egorf|55555 andrey|78787878 max123|909091 |", -1);
//You could trim the white space if needed
trim(substr("vasil76|12352 petr0|54323 sidor80|22222 egorf|55555 andrey|78787878 max123|909091 |", -1));

    Alternatively you can just use the ltrim function:

    
<?php
rtrim("vasil76|12352 petr0|54323 sidor80|22222 egorf|55555 andrey|78787878 max123|909091 |", " |");

    Dunno where you get the string from, but wouldn't the best bet be to make sure the string doesn't contain the last | - I'm assuming this is a concoction of something, adding values to a string (or parsing an array, or something like that) - I'm pretty sure it's possible to avoid that extra space and | at the end, if you just tell us how you make that string.

    Exactly - fixing something that is inherently broken just adds code - usually fixing the underlying issue is the better bet.

    You could make sure there is a username or password.

    
foreach($user_pass as $key=>$val){
    if (strlen(trim($key)) > 0 || strlen(trim($val)) > 0) {
        $new_content.=$key."|".$val."\r\n";
    }
}
