Can anyone solve this error: Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated

[Function]

Would anyone have the answer to solve this error message?

 

Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /includes/modules/shipping/table.php on line 57

 

Here is the code. Line 57 is in Bold. Preg_split is suppose to work. Tried preg_explode but that didn't work. Appreciate any help!

 

    $table_cost = preg_split("/[:,]/" , MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_COST);

      $size = sizeof($table_cost);

      for ($i=0, $n=$size; $i<$n; $i+=2) {

        if ($order_total <= $table_cost[$i]) {

          $shipping = $table_cost[$i+1];

          break;

        }

      }

Try this:

 

<?php
$table_cost=explode(',', MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_COST);
?>

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php

means in version 5.3, the function is no longer available, and shouldn't be used,

you should use preg_split instead.

Split() is deprecated, which doesn't mean it's unavailable.  It means it's officially not recommended to use it, and sometime in the future it will be removed entirely from the language.

 

Split accepted a regular expression, which preg_split accepts.  What are you trying to do?  The first line of your code segment should split the constant MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_COST on a comma or colon.  If you need to split only on a single character or non-variant string, explode() is orders of magnitude faster.
