Re: A way to break up the string????

Don't forget, if you just want to look for word break's (spaces), instead of exploding the data then doing a count, you could just: $wordcount = (substr_count($name," ")+1); On Wed, 2003-01-29 at 10:03, Scott Fletcher wrote: Wow!! A lot easier. I think I can do the counting to find out if which go which. For example, "Jennifer B Cuff" as oppose to "Jennifer Cuff". Say, I find 3 words instead of 2 then do something to it. If 2 then do something to it. Etc. I do realize that it is possible for there to be a logic error, like "Cuff" which can't be tell as first name or last name if I don't get the data like "Jennifer Cuff". Thanks!!!
