left() error

[estrellas]

when i'm trying to strip some unneeded chars off my query ... i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: left()

and here's the statement that causes the error

$query = left($query, strlen($query)-4);

is there a strcat function or something in php?

Hi there
please find more info on

http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

But the function substr will help you

$query = substr($query, 0, strlen($query)-4);

Should do.
