Are there any best practices for efficiently removing the last part of a string in PHP?

When removing the last part of a string in PHP, one efficient way to do so is by using the `substr` function in combination with `strlen` to determine the length of the string. By calculating the length of the string and then using `substr` to extract the desired portion, you can efficiently remove the last part of the string. 

$string = "Hello World";
$length = strlen($string) - 5; // Remove the last 5 characters
$newString = substr($string, 0, $length);
echo $newString; // Output: Hello
