Note Submitter: elf@elf.dammit.lt ---- If you have a line with multiple seperator symbols between elements, for example " ", like this one: $line = "192.168.68.60 0x1 0x2 00:E0:1E:7F:D5:26 * eth1" to get rid of null values while exploding you can do something like this: $line = preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $line); $elements = explode(" ", $out); Here you replace 1 or more whitespace characters (\s+) with single whitespace character " " (a seperator in this case), and then just explode the whole stuff.
