split deprecated

[adibranch]

Hi all, hopefully just a quickie.

 

split is deprecated in 5.3, but i have the following to get working..

 

$dest = split(self::__MAIL_DELIMITOR__, $this->_mails);

 

delimitor is as follows:

 

const __MAIL_DELIMITOR__ = ',';

and _mails is just a list of email addresses.

 

Can anyone suggest a workaround?

 

Thanks

The PHP manual is full of useful information, including suggested alternatives for deprecated features.

 

 

See http://php.net/split

 

Tip

 

preg_split(), which uses a Perl-compatible regular expression syntax, is often a faster alternative to split(). If you don't require the power of regular expressions, it is faster to use explode(), which doesn't incur the overhead of the regular expression engine.

 

In your case, explode() makes most sense.
