preg_split and explode - help needed

[melbfella]

G'day all,

 

I'm a PHP newbie (been an ASP programmer for years) and am trying to split a string of data up so I can use the individual pieces.

 

The data looks something like this :

 

2013-04-07 15:59:15,895~2013-04-07 16:01:15,897~2013-04-07 16:02:25,893

The split character is the tilde (~). 

 

I then wish to iterate through each item, split the item on the comma, and use the 2 values in a web page.

 

I've tried to use preg_split and explode, but just can't get it going - any and all help would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers.

The easiest solution here would be to just use explode (twice), and a simple foreach loop.

Also, since you didn't post what you've tried I cannot tell you why it's wrong. So please post your attempts at solving this, so that we can guide you on how to properly do it.
