Re: phpsadness

Hello Nathan, Do you mean $x{8}? That is good but not for all situations. I need sometimes to make an array with letters as keys and numbers as values, like this (I give English alphabet just as an example, so please don't suggest str_split): $alphabet="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; // I wish that worked $alphabet_array=explode('', $alphabet); $letter_numbers=array_flip($alphabet_array); this is just one case I encountered some time ago. Yes, I made this by separating letters with commas... but it's not the unique case when I need it. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion ------------ Original message ------------ From: Nathan Nobbe <quickshiftin@gmail.com> To: Robert Cummings Date created: , 7:33:08 PM Subject: [PHP] phpsadness On Sat, May 28, 2011 at 4:33 AM, Robert Cummings <robert@interjinn.com>wrote: > On 11-05-28 05:26 AM, Andre Polykanine wrote: > >> Hello Lester, >> >> Actually, many of the points are not important for me so far, however >> this one really drives me mad: >> http://phpsadness.com/?page=sad/35 (can't explode() by an empty >> string) >> Besides that, he says nothing about unicode issues. >> I love PHP (I really do, it's a neat language, as for me!), but it >> *should* be unicode by default.
