You need a Ajax call to pass the JS value into php variable
JS Code will be (your js file)
var jsString="hello";
$.ajax({
url: "ajax.php",
type: "post",
data: jsString
});
And in ajax.php (your php file) code will be
$phpString = $_POST['data']; // assign hello to phpString

You are looking for str.rsplit(), with a limit:
print x.rsplit('-', 1)[0]
.rsplit() searches for the splitting string from the end of input string, and the second argument limits how many times it'll split to just once.
Another option is to use str.rpartition(), which will only ever split just once:
print x.rpartition('-')[0]
For splitting just once, str.rpartition() is the faster method as well; if you need to split more than once you can only use str.rsplit().
Demo:
>>> x = 'http://test.com/lalala-134'
>>> print x.rsplit('-', 1)[0]
http://test.com/lalala
>>> 'something-with-a-lot-of-dashes'.rsplit('-', 1)[0]
'something-with-a-lot-of'
and the same with str.rpartition()
>>> print x.rpartition('-')[0]
http://test.com/lalala
>>> 'something-with-a-lot-of-dashes'.rpartition('-')[0]
'something-with-a-lot-of'

In plain english: Give me the part of the string starting at the beginning and ending at the position where you first encounter the deliminator.
