Explode replacement or a work around

[KingOfHeart]

$out = wordwrap($data,400,"@");

$output = explode("@",$out, -1);

 

By default a -1 no longer works properly for me so I need a similar method to get the same output.

I made a game back then that reads the php file. So I could change the extension to .php4/.php5 (forget which one would work) the sockets will still link to the default .php file.

So how can I fix this?

What do you mean it no longer works properly?

 

If you get the whole array instead of all but one, then either use array_slice or iterate through to count-1.

My host changed it's default php support.

 

http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php

 

Quote:

5.1.0 Support for negative limits was added

4.0.1 The limit parameter was added

************

By default the - limit does not work.

Yes, that looks normal, same as my manual...

 

Sorry, I think you should explain what it did before. If 'limit' wasn't present (and no other third arg existed) then, just mimic using my previous answer.

 

Otherwise please explain fully and clearly what results your getting and what you expected.

explode returns nothing, that's what I'm saying.

It's because of that -1.

I want to get the same result but can't use a -1.

So what do I do?

What version of PHP is running on your server?

Are you 100% positive that the issue isn't with the input?

When you say 'nothing', is that what is really happening, are you sure it's not an empty array? (if so re-read the manual!)

 

Try isolating the issue...

$out="here@there@where@lost";
$output = explode("@",$out, -1);

[KingOfHeart]

It's the -1.

I removed the -1 and it seems to work just fine.

Told you it was the version issue.

If this was working, then stopped, that means your host downgraded PHP versions?

[roopurt18]

If this worked before and it doesn't work now that means your PHP host went backwards in PHP versions, which is unlikely.  What exactly did they change?  Be very, very specific.

if all you are doing is removing the last element, perhaps array_pop

[KingOfHeart]

It's the -1.

I removed the -1 and it seems to work just fine.

Told you it was the version issue.
