RE: [PHP] Re: fscanf

As longs as none of the text you are using NEEDS spaces you can just do this: <?php $string ="text1, te xt2, t e x t 3"; $string = ereg_replace(" ", "", $string); $array = explode(",", $string); echo "|" . $array[0] . "|" . $array[1] . "|" . $array[2] . "|"; ?> If you want to keep the spaces and there is always a space after the comma you can do: $string = ereg_replace(", ", ",", $string); Instead of the other ereg_replace above.
