if u cannot use the original function explode, or your version is less than 4.0.1 you can use this example whith optional limit argument. <?php function exploding($separator,$string,$limit=NULL){ $returnarray = array(); $increment = 0; $length = strlen($string); $limit_negative=($limit < 0); for($i = 0; $i < $length;$i++){ $current = substr($string,$i,1); //main explode function if($separator == $current){ $increment++; } elseif($separator == ""){ @$returnarray[$increment].=$current; $increment++; } else{ @$returnarray[$increment].=$current; } //if limit is positive if($limit == $increment){ break; } } //if limit is negative if($limit_negative){ for($i = 0; $i > $limit;$i--){ array_pop($returnarray); } } return $returnarray; } //Test $something = "Kamba.jeno.attila"; $result = exploding(".",$something) /*returns array(3) { [0]=> string(5) "Kamba" [1]=> string(4) "Jeno" [2]=> string(6) "Attila" } */ $result2 = exploding(".",$something,1) /*returns array(1) { [0]=> string(5) "Kamba" } */ $result3 = exploding(".",$something,-1) /*returns array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "Kamba" [1]=> string(4) "Jeno" } */ ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 89.133.78.126 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103002 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103002/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103002/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103002/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103002/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103002/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103002/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103002 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103002 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
