Can someone with a few more working grey cells prompt me with the correct command to split a string. The entered data is names, but I need to split the text up to the first space or comma into one string, and the rest of the string into a second. It's the 'first either space or comma' that eludes me at the moment :( In know it's probably obvious, but it always is when you know the answer.

$myString = "John Doe"; $pos = strpos($myString, " ") < strpos($myString, ",") ? strpos($myString, " ") : strpos($myString, ",");

Suggest the following as being more efficient (half the strpos calls)... $pos = min(strpos($myString, " "), strpos($myString, ",")); Alternatively you could use split to break the string into the two parts, which is probably more efficient... list($part1, $part2) = split('[ ,]', $myString); -Stut
