What does this do?

[the_oliver]

Hello,

 

I found a snippit of code, and im not sure what it does/how it works!:

 

  $code = explode("£$@", $comp_code);

      echo $code[0] . $i_titl . $code[1]; 

 

Where $comp_code is something like <some code>£$@</some code>.

and $i_titl is a string of text.

 

Can anyone explain a little please?

 

Thanks

Have you looked at the manual, http://php.net/explode It seems pretty straight forward what it is doing.

I dont suppose i can explain this any better than the manual can:

 

www.php.net/explode

 

I guess ill try anyway

 

The explode function splits a string by whatever you put in the first parameter(the delimiter). It creates an array of all the pieces of the string between all delimiters found within the string. In your exact example:

 

<?php
$comp_code = '<some code>£$@</some code>.';
$i_titl = 'foo bar';
$code = explode("£$@", $comp_code);
echo $code[0] . $i_titl . $code[1]; //produces <some code>foobar</somecode>.
?>

 

Beaten to it, thought id post with the example using the posted code. Completely agree that the manual explains it though.
