Here you go: $string = substr($string, 0, -4);

I have a situation where I need to trim the last four elements of a string off from a variable. Examples of what the string will look like(teses are known, trusted values and won't change): $string = "Atlanta CEO" $string = "Los Angeles CFO" What I need to do is strip the last four characters off of each string so that I'm just returning the city, not the group (CFO, CIO, COO etc.) How do I do this in PHP? Thanks in advance!
