PHP - Search string then delete until end of that string

I have a string like this:

$string = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In et ipsum ac tellus hendrerit semper in sit amet nulla.';

If found the string hendrerit semper, delete from that string until the end of that string.

The result should be:

$string = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In et ipsum ac tellus';

Can you guys guide me how to do it?

Thanks in advance!

Use substr and strpos. Note that you should always check the return value of strpos before using it further.

$string = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In et ipsum ac tellus hendrerit semper in sit amet nulla.';
$search = 'hendrerit semper';
if (strpos($string, $search) === false) {
    // $search not found in $string
    $result = false;
}
else {
    $result = substr($string, 0, strpos($string, $search));
}

See PHP: strstr

Note that you have a 'before needle' parameter.

$string = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In et ipsum ac tellus hendrerit semper in sit amet nulla.';
echo strstr($string, 'hendrerit semper', true) . "\n";exit;

Will give you: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In et ipsum ac tellus"

substring to get a substring and strpos to find the position

echo substr( $string, 0, strpos( $string, 'hendrerit semper' ) );
