strrchr - Find the last occurrence of a character in a string
SYNOPSIS
string strrchr (string $haystack, mixed $needle)
DESCRIPTION
This function returns the portion of $haystack which starts at the last occurrence of $needle and goes until the end of $haystack.
PARAMETERS
o $haystack
- The string to search in
o $needle
