[SOLVED] Split() a string?

[ballhogjoni]

Hi,

 

I recieve a response string from my curl script e.g. 'Username:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx UserID:xxxx' and I want to be able to split it up at the : character and basically put it into a session.

 

Example:

 

$_SESSION['a'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

$_SESSION['b'] = 'xxxx';

 

I don't want the session variable to include Username and UserID from the original string. I hope that made since.

<pre>
<?php
$data = 'Username:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx UserID:xxxx';
list($_SESSION['a'], $_SESSION['b']) = preg_split('/\s*User(?:name|ID):/', $data, 2, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
print_r($_SESSION);
?>
</pre>

Another way:

 

$session_a=explode(':',$_SESSION['a']);

echo $session_a[1];

 

do the same for b
