RE: [PHP] Syntax ::: does explode('-', $string)[2] ::: have a twi n brother?

Thanks for your understanding. and, you're right : it did not answer my question. But you gave me a good idea. I wasn't about to do that, I though I would have some guru replying me with some very "scary" line which would be what I asked for, but, what the hell.. I'll just put that function in my library and that's it. Hope someday I'll find the answer... Thanks to everyone!

Hey Maxim- This does not answer your question and is fairly obvious/straight forward BUT I am very bored :-) $string = '2000-05-12'; function oExplode($sep,$string,$o=0) { $tmp = explode("$sep",$string); Return $tmp[$o]; } print oExplode('-',$string,2); In otherwords, my reply is : "Create your own function!" It's good to be curious, I tend to ask such questions and people often reply "just do this" and miss the point ... Anyway, later. Regards, Philip --.sig [ Want to write Good code?
