Re: Splitting string

I think the easiest way, if you can guarantee exactly 50 spaces as the separator, is to simply explode() it. $string = "EVOLUTION DEAR GOD BOYZ_II_MEN "; $arr = explode(str_repeat(' ', 50), $string); You could also use a regex, but that's probably overkill if your separator is that simple. If it's not, then you may need a regex.
