Re: More newbie problems -- this time regexp and split

Matt, In another posting, Kenneth Lee talked about conflicts between mod_perl and php regexp engines when they are both compiled into apache. Is this a known problem about which there is more information? Like Kenneth, I have mod_perl-1.24 and php-3.0.16 together. Is my issue with split() a symptom of that problem, and do you know if upgrading to php-4.0.2 will resolve it? I don't particularly care whether its mod_perl or php that's the culprit. What I need is a way to make sure they can coexist. Just a thought -- I've never tried it -- but can I have two separate servers sharing a common document tree? Thanks for your thoughts. -- Rob --On 09/05/00 01:56:05 -0500 Matt McClanahan <cardinal@dodds.net> wrote:

The browser returns a bunch of email addresses (one or more) entered into a textarea block, separated by commas and/or whitespace. I try to split it and I get the first element repeated by itself up to limit-1, and the last element of the resulting array contains all the elements. To try and figure out what's wrong, I took a basic example from the WROX PHP book: $str = "one two three four"; $pat = " "; $array = split($pat, $str, 4); print "$array[0]<BR>\n"; print "$array[1]<BR>\n"; print "$array[2]<BR>\n"; print "$array[3]<BR>\n";

I don't know what to tell you. That code block works fine for me in 4.0.1 and 3.0.5, so.. :) One thing I may suggest (For a different direction) is that when you're separating a string based on a single character, explode() will always be faster. Adjusting the above example.. $str = 'one two three four'; $array = explode(' ',$str,4); will accomplish the same task without the PHP engine having to call upon a regexp to separate the string. Not an answer to your question, but it may help.
