Quick regexp question i think, remove the last <li>..</li>??

HI there,

I am using a trim_text function in combo with some simple str_replace to make sure the code ends with </ul>

But i like to remove the last

<li>whatever</li>

Code (markup):

$res = preg_replace('<li>????</li>','',$content);

Code (markup):

regards,

 

why don't you use strrpos to get last position of li...using regex it would be difficult to get LAST li
use this:
$pos = strrpos($content, "<li>");
This will give you position of last li
$res = substr($content, 0 , $pos+1);

Hope this helps...

 

hi abstractworld,

You are right i am puzzled but your suggestion seems to work almost as i want it.

i had to $pos-1 and add </ul>
