[SOLVED] Splitting a string is splitting my head!

[musclehead]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to split a text string based on a 10-digit integer. Here is an example string that I have:

 

1829378467This is some text1213873673this is some more text2328744673this is yet more text

 

I need to split the string based on those 10-digit integers and put the results into an array. The text I have is delimited and each resulting array value is in reverse chronological order. I want to then reverse the print-out of the array in order to display the array values in the correct chronological order. Here's what I've got now:

 

$str_array = split("/\d{10}/",$string);
print_r($str_array);

 

The print_r only displays one array element (0), and it contains the entire string. I'm assuming the split command is not recognizing the other 10-digit integers correctly. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!

Solved it - nasty workaround, but it worked perfectly! I just did a preg_replace on the 10-digit integer with a more "noticeable" string and split based on that...thing of beauty.

 

Thanks again everyone!

split does not support PCRE syntax.

 

$str_array = preg_split('/\d{10}/', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

Cool - it's always nice when I can replace my make-shift code with the correct syntax. Thanks much!!
