Re: [php] explode that :) !

Actually this does not work: echo split($P1OC1Q1,"¶"); There are two variables in $P1OC1Q1 = "1¶a bucnh of text" I want to split $P1OC1Q1 and get "1" as a numeral for a calculation. I was looking for a cleaner way to do it. $P1OC1Q1 = "1¶some text or some comment"; echo "<tr><td>Your score is: </td><td>"; $score=split($P1OC1Q1,"¶"); echo $score[0]."</td></tr>\n"; My problem becomes more difficult when $P1OC1Q1 = ""; Split errors out.
