[SOLVED] Array help

[EchoFool]

I have a value which carries to bits of infomation seperated by | symbol. But I do not know how to split them into two different variables.

 

<?php
$ID = 'Country|23';
$IDType = explode('|', $ID, -1);
$IDType[0] = $Type;
       $IDType[1] = $TypeID;
?>

 

What im trying to get is

$Type = Country;

$TypeID = 23;

 

But it is not working, what am i doing wrong ?

you want this

<?php
$ID = 'Country|'.23;
$IDType = explode('|', $ID,);
$Type = $IDType[0];
$TypeID = $IDType[1];
?>

i don't think this will work

$IDType[0] = $Type;

it should try to set $IDType[0] to $Type instead.

You have it backwords a bit. Try this.

 

<?php
$ID = 'Country|'.23;
$IDType = explode('|', $ID, -1);
$Type = $IDType[0];
$TypeID = $ID Type[1];
?>

<?php
  $ID = 'Country|23';
  list($Type,$TypeID) = explode('|', $ID, 2);
?>

Thankyou for your reply!

 

I am getting this how ever now as an error:

 

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 on line 57

 

<?php
$IDType = explode('|', $ID, -1);
$Type = $IDType[0];
$ID = $IDType[1];  //this line
?>

[ratcateme]

why do you have the -1 in the explode remove it then try

Scott, I don't know I saw it in the php site so presumed it was needed.

But it is fixed now i have removed it. So thankyou for that!

It happens all the time - the best solution is totally ignored.
