Re: question about explode()

> Woops: > so is there a syntactical way to tell explode to split at every > **THIRD** character? Nope. What is wrong with substr($fone,0,3) substr($fone,3,3) substr($fone,6,3) to get the 3 parts? This is the most efficient way. If you really want to do it in one line, you can do: preg_match('/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{3})/',$fone,$reg); At this point your parts are in $reg[1], $reg[2] and $reg[3]. But this approach is much slower than the simple substr() -Rasmus
