    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...
