Hi There.
You should use this function:
split -- split string into array by regular expression
array split (string pattern, string string [, int limit])
So, to split a string ( e.g. a sentence ) so that each word in the string is
an element of the array do something like this
<?php
$sMyString = 'The cat sat on the mat.';
$aMyArray = split ( ' ', $sMyString );
?>
This will return:
$aMyArray[0] == 'The';
$aMyArray[1] == 'cat'; ... etc
"If limit is set, the returned array will contain a maximum of limit
elements with the last element containing the whole rest of string. "
Cheers
Scott
