Hi, can anyone tell me how to do this in php please:

I want to remove all characters (or replace with '') from the left of a string, up to and including the first fullstop? There could be any number of characters before the fullstop.


Thanking you

Several ways to do it really, but this is going to be the fastest CPU wise:

<?php
$string = "this is a test. We only want this one.";
$new_string = trim(substr($string,strpos($string,'.')+1,strlen($string)));
echo $new_string;
?>


The trim() function will remove any spaces after the first '.', once it's been cut!
