PHP string

[Drunken]

Heya!

I have a string like this: " 1,2,4,7,9" and want to separate the numbers between the , ... how can i do it ?

thks!

[Jubba]

not sure what you mean.. .how do you want to separate them? with spaces?

$string = str_replace(",", " ", $string);

[Drunken]

If possible to an array or separate one by one ...

[Drunken]

Hy! thks already know how :D

like this

$data="1,2,3,4,5";
$data_array = explode(",",$data);
$cont = count ($data_array); //count array

//will return an array:
echo $data_array[0];
echo $data_array[1];
...

[Jubba]

you could also use split()

[awligon]

explode is the way to go. But You don't need to count the array contents if you don't need to.

$data = '4,3,6,2,7';
$data_array = explode(",",$data);
foreach($data_array as $current){
//do whatever
echo $current;
}

true, explode is faster... damn me... :sigh:

:trout:

but if you are using regular expressions you should use preg_split()...

[awligon]

hey, easy with the trout Jubba. Don't beat yourself up about it. :P

[Jubba]

eh, I always forget which function is faster and I always suggest the wrong ones...
