Description:
------------
Hi,

I would like to know if is that possible to add a new argument in a
function strrchr ?
To do the same things of strstr.

strrchr ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, bool $before_needle = false
] )

before_needle
If TRUE, strrchr() returns the part of the haystack before the first
occurrence of the needle (excluding the needle).

Actually i'm forced to write:

substr ( $haystack, 0, strrpos ( $haystack, $needle ) )

This would break SRP for PHP more than it currently is and creating yet another built-in function for this would unnecessarily pollute global namespace. Instead of complicating things more by introducing functions/arguments out of the blue, we should endeavor to simplify things. I'm against this.

Given that this use case isn't the most common, this isn't that
bad.  If you need this often, consider to wrap it in a function.

That.
