hi !
u can use substr command , here is some ex. :

$rest = substr ("abcdef", 1);    // returns "bcdef"
$rest = substr ("abcdef", 1, 3); // returns "bcd"

// Or 
$rest = substr ("abcdef", -1);    // returns "f"
$rest = substr ("abcdef", -2);    // returns "ef"
$rest = substr ("abcdef", -3, 1); // returns "d" 

hope this help u

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

that's correct... for your example it will look like:

$str = substr($str, 1, strlen($str)-1);

or just...

$str = substr($str, 1);
