Re: Re: spliti[SOLUTION]

I missed this thread but: a) split takes on regex, explode does not. b) spliti is case insensitive, spaces don't have cases. So, in your example, might as well use explode. $words = explode(' ', trim($string)); Although, let's say the following existed (it will): $string = 'a b c d e f g '; Then using regex might be appropriate, and trim() is always nice. Let's split the above string by spaces and basically treat multiple spaces as one: $words = split('[ ]+', trim($string)); Otherwise many empty elements in $words will exist. This will also make for a more reliable word count although it won't be perfect. For examples on posix regex (which is taken on by split), see: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/dario19990616.php3?print_mode=1 regards, Philip Olson On Sat, 22 Dec 2001, Bharath Bhushan Lohray wrote: > <?php > $line = "no more words to say"; > $word=spliti(" ",$line); > echo "$word[0] $word[1] $word[3]"; > ?> > > Tested and works >
