php function for strlen in array?

[solarisuser]

Hi All,

 

I have data in an array like this "12345, 56789, KL5-1231231,KL5-1230502".  Is there a function that I can use to say....  if string length of each piece of the array is less than 6, put it in this array, and the rest of the data entries go in another array.

 

For example:

$original_array = ("12345", "56789", "KL5-1231231","KL5-1230502");

some_function_here...

$array1 = ("12345", "56789");

$array2 = ("KL5-1231231","KL5-1230502");

 

Thanks

you can convert your aray to a string then explode by every (,) and loop using foreach

You don't really need a function. Couldn't you do something like the following:

<?php
$original_array = ("12345", "56789", "KL5-1231231","KL5-1230502");

$array1 = array();
$array2 = array();
foreach($original_array as $item) {
    if(isset($item[6])) { $array1[] = $item; }
    else { $array2[] = $item; }
}
?>

Of course you can use strlen($item) < 6 instead of what I have in the if statement but I like my way since it is a little faster.

very cool , thanks.  i was looking for something not using strlen and tons of if statements...
