PHP String: Exercise-21 with Solution

Write a PHP script to remove trailing slash from a string.

Original String : 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog///'

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
$my_str = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog///';
// Define the original string.

echo rtrim($my_str, '/')."\n";
// Remove trailing slashes from the original string and output the result.
?>

Sample Output:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Explanation:

The above PHP code snippet takes the string 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog///' and removes any trailing slashes from it using the "rtrim()" function. The "rtrim()" function trims characters from the right side of a string. Here, it trims trailing slashes from the string, resulting in the string 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'. Finally, it echoes out the modified string.
