note 88989 added to function.preg-split

harriswm: As merlinyoda mentioned, you are not using any benefit of regexes, so you are better off using explode instead. However, you also mentioned wanting to do this with a single call to preg_split, which is not all that hard if you have some knowledge of regexes, it's simply: <?php preg_split('~(' . $part1 . ')|(' . $part2 . ')|(' . $part3 . ')~'); ?> I would still advise against using regular expressions here, though. Personally I would need a very good reason to use a regular expression that is not a constant in my code. Regular expressions just do have to many variables to let the regular expression depend on the situation completely. ---- Server IP: 213.249.64.162 Probable Submitter: 94.210.186.28 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-split.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88989 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88989/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88989/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88989/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88989/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88989/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88989/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88989 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88989 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
