get part of a string...?
hey,

I have a string which looks like this:

7#page1

It may also look like this:

132#page34

I basically need to get the number BEFORE the # .... the code I have so far is:

PHP Code:
 $pos = strrpos($string, "#"); //get where the # is

//now get what ever is in front of the #
$rest = substr($_GET['surveyID'], $pos, -$pos); 


but that just returns "#"

Any ideas?

Thanks guys!!
