slicing and dicing strings

[Kirk Bailey <kbailey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ok, it slices and dices, but how?
in python, to print all but the last char in string FOO, we say
print FOO[:-1]
But this seems to bark like a basset hound in php. Whyfore?

Now tihs tyro is seeking sage words to help me understand this.
RTFM is not sage words; if you don't want to help me please don't 
waste the bandwidth.

Would anyone care to help me understand this without dedicating 4 
precious and in over demand/under supply hours to RTFM?
