Can someone tell me what this line of code does?

Hey all,

 

I'm just wondering if someone can tell me what exactly this line of code does. I'm trying to add custom tables to the manufacturers list but this line seems to truncate end of my tags.

 

in /boxes/manufacturers.php

 

$manufacturers_list = substr($manufacturers_list, 0, -4);

 

Thanks!

When the list is being built, a <br> is added to the end of each entry. That code removes the very last <br> so an extra space doesn't appear in the listing.

ah... thanks Jack. That explains why the last four letters of the tag I'm trying to add are removed!

 

Thanks again!
