This function corresponds more or less to the PERL chomp() function.

Another possible one would be to use this:

<?php
function chup(){

$ar=Array();

foreach(func_get_args() as $b) {

push($ar,$b[strlen($b)-1]);

&$b[strlen($b)-1]='';

  }

return $ar;

 }
?>

If you wanted to perl-chop a va list of strings and return the removed chars. Obviously you can easily mod it for va list arrays of strings and the like.
