Say what you want, it works.  Your solution is way more elegant.  regex's are not my strong suit.  I have to have the regex pocket reference to understand that regex  that's in there.  However, the fgetcsv breaks it up into a few chunks and I have to break up the first chunk, but that's space delimited, so its not so bad.  I'll probably use yours.  Thanks for the class. > > http://blog.ericlamb.net/2010/01/parse-apache-log-files-with-php/ > > -Stuart > > -- > Stuart Dallas > 3ft9 Ltd > http://3ft9.com/ > > >> Curtis Maurand wrote: >> > >> > >> > Hello, >> > I'm trying to run through an apache log >> file in an attempt to >> > get all of the user agents. >> > >> > The question is how do I split the >> > string?
