Solution 2

You may, for instance, write

PHP

$string = 'somestring.for';
$a = preg_split('/\./', $string);
$res = '.' . $a[1];

Solution 1

Here are string manipulation function available in PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php[^].

The one you are looking is for substr[^].
You will probably also need strpos[^] to find the character you want to split the string on.
