splitting string

[spillage]

This is probally more of a Monday morning question.

 

Just running through my book on using the split function with regular expressions.

 

Using

<?php

$email = "[email protected]£49";

$arr=split ('\.|\@|\£', $email);

while (list($key, $value)= each ($arr))

echo '|'.$value;

?>-

 

But the 45 is shown as 49-.

 

Have spent a while looking on google etc. But should it not show 40???

 

I'm sure you can tell I'm fairly new to this so if this is a daft question please dont give me

to much of a verbal hammering.

 

Thanks

What "45"? You don't have a 45 in your string. The "-" is showing because you have a "-" after your PHP block and the browser treats that as text to be output to the screen.

 

Also, if you just want to separate the items in the $arr array with "|", you can use the implode() function:

<?php
$email = "[email protected]£49";
$arr=split ('\.|\@|\£', $email);
echo '|' . implode('|',split ('\.|\@|\£', $email));
?>

sorry that was a typo should be 49. Doh got slightly blurry eyes today and had to get about an inch away from my screen to see that.

code and alchol really dont mix.
