updating script using split()

[jamiejack]

Hi,

 

I have been updating an old script that was using split() and im finding it hard to find what to use instead?

The manual says to now use preg_split

 

I have tried this and get an Warning: preg_split() [function.preg-split]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash error.

 

 

code:

while ($array_results = fgets($fp, 1024)) { // Get results 1 at a time and list them
list ($user, $score) = split ('\|', $array_results);



$high_scores["$user"] = "$score";  // Then store as an associated array ready to sort

 

Could someone please suggest how i can achieve this and still keep the | as my delimiter?

 

Many thanks Jamie

if you just want to split at a pipe, use explode
