PHP Split Problems

[yanjchan]

Ok, I have my string here:

cb9f35facc807b87b3024726e6ffe4ff0382b6e54f84f082c4292fb8251378c3:edba6720b115c4d20fb78b4371d84d3783b1094fac000fc886d865bc1eb9572a@76.103.101.157

That is separated by : and @.

 

I get the string from the cookie using the PHP $_COOKIE['blah'], which works fine.

Then, when I try to split it using:

 

$raw = $_COOKIE['blah'];

$blah = split('[:@]', $raw);

echo "$blah[0]<br />";

echo "$blah[1]<br />";

echo "$blah[2]<br />";

 

Only $blah[0] returns a variable, which is the entire string.

I'm sorry if I'm making a stupid mistake, as I think I've mentioned before, I'm pretty new to PHP.

 

Thanks!

You need to separate by the @ symbol or the : symbol. For that you need a pipe(|):

 

$blah = split('[:|@]', $raw);

 

Though i don't see why you're not delimiting by the same character in both instances?

I'm fairly sure he didn't realize he needs delimiters and got really lucky since he used a character class as his whole regex.  [ ] counts as a delimiter pair, so it didn't throw an error.  Try this instead:

$blah = split('/[:@]/', $raw);
