RE: [PHP] Finding the? in $REQUEST_URI?page=blah

with slight modifications, yes... that will work. 1) PHP doesnt support built-in regexp's (which is a constant sore in the side of any perl programmer) so you'll have to ditch the /:/ for ':' 2) you have to declare lists as list(), unlike the assumed behaviour in perl when it sees () = ... this is how you'd do it in PHP $str = 'C:programs:this:that.exe'; list($one, $two) = split(':', $str); print $one ."<BR>\n"; print $two ."<BR>\n"; not very different, but different enough to be annoying :) > -----Original Message----- > From: John Monfort [mailto:monfort@kahuna.sdsu.edu] > Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 16:57 > To: ..s.c.o.t.t..
