[SOLVED] Strign Seperator on " | "

[d22552000]

Is it possible to take input and seperate it on every certain character or regular expression?  then split whats before to one string and whats after to another string?

 

I am making a webserver and I need to seperate the first line of a browser request:

 

"GET / HTTP/1.1" is an example call for root on the webserver

"GET /file/index.html HTTP/1.1" is a call for index in file directory.

 

I have seen people do it to seperate a string url:

 

$url = "http://domain.com/file"

 

turns into

 

$url1 = "http://"

$url2 = "domain.com"

$url3 = "/file"

 

but I wonder how they did it...  can you please help me?  I posted the topic earlier (12h ago) but it got buried.

would this work!!!??

 

$request = split("[\n\r\t ]+", $s);
if ($request[2]=="/") {
echo "You requested HOME";
} elseif $request[2]=="/*") {
echo "You requested a file or directory: ".$request[2];
} else {
echo "Your request was invalid";
}

Then 'bump' it instead of opening another thread on the same topic.
