[SOLVED] Seperate string?

[kernelgpf]

I need to dynamically seperate a string: it'll be in this format "1111:dragon". The number will be dynamically generated, but I need to seperate the number from the creature type after the colon and put both into seperate variables. How do I do this?

 

Thanks!

you need to explode that variable.

 

more information can be found here:

The creature type will be dynamically generated, as well.

 

..how do I do that, php_fr3333k? I've looked in the manual, I don't understand..

we need to see some code; so we know where to go from. is "creature type" this variables name?

<?php
$string = "1111:dragon";
$var = explode(":",$string);
var_dump($var);
?>

Perfect, revraz, but I need to STORE the two values in seperate variables.. how do I do that?
