Re: split or explode quoted strings

I would like to split or explode strings in a way that quoted strings inside the strings should remain. e.g.: "first second \"third third\" fourth \"fifth fifth fifth\"" after the split I need: "first" "second" "third third" "fourth" "fifth fifth fifth"

I love explode(), too, but this is a job for sscanf(): http://php.net/sscanf Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett Brain Bulb, The PHP Consultancy http://brainbulb.com/
