You may use strrev to reverse the string, and then reverse the results back: $split_point=” – “; $string = ‘this is my – string – and more’; $result = array_map(‘strrev’, explode($split_point, strrev($string))); Not sure if this is the best solution though.
You can use this function: function str_lreplace($search, $replace, $subject) { $pos = strrpos($subject, $search); if($pos !== false) { $subject = substr_replace($subject, $replace, $pos, strlen($search)); } return $subject; }
If you are actually using just single letters like shown in your example, then str.rindex would work handily. This raises a ValueError if there is no such item, the same error class as list.index would raise. Demo: >>> li = [“a”, “b”, “a”, “c”, “x”, “d”, “a”, “6”] >>> ”.join(li).rindex(‘a’) 6 For the more general … Read more
