note 98135 added to function.explode

Sometimes you need to explode a string by different delimiters. In that case you can use this function: <?php print_r(explodeX(Array(".","!"," ","?",";"),"This.sentence?contains wrong;characters")); // Returns: // Array("This","sentence","contains","wrong","characters") function explodeX($delimiters,$string) { $return_array = Array($string); // The array to return $d_count = 0; while (isset($delimiters[$d_count])) // Loop to loop through all delimiters { $new_return_array = Array(); foreach($return_array as $el_to_split) // Explode all returned elements by the next delimiter { $put_in_new_return_array = explode($delimiters[$d_count],$el_to_split); foreach($put_in_new_return_array as $substr) // Put all the exploded elements in array to return { $new_return_array[] = $substr; } } $return_array = $new_return_array; // Replace the previous return array by the next version $d_count++; } return $return_array; // Return the exploded elements } ?> ---- Server IP: 91.199.167.223 Probable Submitter: 24.132.231.93 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98135 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98135/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98135/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98135/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98135/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98135/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98135/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98135 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98135 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
