You could use strpos--there are easier ways if you don't need the offsets. Example: <?php $inputstring = " This is a string "; $pos = 0; $oldpos = 0; $result = array(); $inputstring .= ' '; while (!(($pos = (strpos ($inputstring, ' ', $pos))) === false)) { if ($pos != $oldpos) $result [substr ($inputstring, $oldpos, $pos - $oldpos)] = $oldpos; $pos++; $oldpos = $pos; } print_r ($result); ?> This is from memory, but it looks like it should work even for weird strings like the one above.
