PHP String Function Remove Last X Chr of String

Is there a php function I can use to remove the last 5 characters of a string.
I could write something - but I thought I would check see if there is a function - I have searched php.net but not found anything suitable.

Cheers

Hi

Try using substr()

Yeah

$text=substr($text,0,-5);

Thanks I knew it would be that simple.
