Perhaps someone can tell me about this one I ran across. I was trying to split a filename by the
periods that it contained so that I could get the extension and print a nifty image that
corresponded. I used this code:
$row = split('.',$filename);
$extension = strtolower($row[sizeof($row)-1]);
$docsize = getdocsize($dbh,$studentdocids[$i]);
Well, $row ended up being empty until I changed the first line to be the following:
$row = split('\.',$filename);
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, so I figured that I would mention when in doubt, use
the backslash.
