strrchr — Find the last occurrence of a character in a string
This function returns the portion of haystack which
starts at the last occurrence of needle and goes
until the end of haystack.
haystackThe string to search in
needle
If needle contains more than one character,
only the first is used. This behavior is different from that of
strstr().
If needle is not a string, it is converted to
an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.
This function returns the portion of string, or FALSE if
needle is not found.
