RE: [PHP-DB] Splitting a string by a ,

I don't wish to hyjack this string but there is a module in perl for extracting emails from files, I could not get it to work but wonder is there any pre-written function in php that would parse text and extract the emails. I wish to do it with pst files, ie people who have written to me over time in order to get them into a manageable database. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Miller [mailto:pmiller@system-wise.com] Sent: 05 December 2003 15:09 To: Chris Payne; php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Splitting a string by a , if the emails are in a CSV file, you can also use "fgetcsv" <?php $handle = fopen ("test.csv","r"); while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 1000, ",")) { $num = count ($data); for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) { print $data[$c] .
