string cutting

[Ninjakreborn]

what was that function that let you cut up a string based on a character.
It's not substr()
like if you had
whatever.php
with the function I am thinking about you can specify the . symbol
then it put's it into an array with 3 values.
it would have
whatever
.
php
in 0, 1, 2 for an array instead of together so you can work with the individual parts?

Explode

Though it won't return the dot.

I was thinking about explode, but I normally use it for other thing, it's worth a try though, thanks.

I hope you can manage to make it work the way you want it to.

Good luck.

I did
explode(".", $subcategory);
$subcategory = $subcategory[1];
that pulls out everything on the right hand side of the period, it allowed me to lay the ground work for the rest of it, thanks.
