note 112690 added to function.strtok

This function should be handled with care if you want to use the tokenizer for multiple strings at once! It looks like there's a PHP internal global and single unique position storage. See code example below. $s1 = $s2 = "1 2 3 4 5 6"; $tok1 = strtok($s1, " "); echo "$tok1\n"; $tok1 = strtok(" "); echo "$tok1\n"; $tok1 = strtok(" "); echo "$tok1\n"; $tok1 = strtok(" "); // 1 // 2 // 3 $tok2 = strtok($s2, " "); echo "$tok2\n"; $tok2 = strtok(" "); echo "$tok2\n"; $tok2 = strtok(" "); echo "$tok2\n"; // 1 // 2 // 3 $tok1 = strtok(" "); echo "$tok1\n"; $tok2 = strtok(" "); echo "$tok2\n"; // 4 // 5 But I would have expected to have output $tok1 to be 4 AND $tok2 to be 4. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 79.245.253.235 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtok.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112690 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112690/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112690/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112690/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112690/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112690/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112690/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112690 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112690 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
