php split

[project3]

say i have a list of stuff like

 

one,two,three

 

sometimes there could be just one result or many results how do I use split if

I don't know how many results there will be?

explode.

[cooldude832]

<?php
$string = "One,Two,Three";
$stuff = explode(",",$string);
echo "there are ".count($stuff)." items in the array.";

[project3]

<?php
$string = "One,Two,Three";
$stuff = explode(",",$string);
echo "there are ".count($stuff)." items in the array.";

 

perfect, do you know what happened to the solved topic button?

[cooldude832]

It got near some dark matter and blew up.

 

Seriously it just died

[project3]

<?php
$string = "One,Two,Three";
$stuff = explode(",",$string);
echo "there are ".count($stuff)." items in the array.";

 

perfect, do you know what happened to the solved topic button?

 

Ok one other problem sometimes there is only 1 item in the db and no comma I still need it to get that

result how can I handle this.

[cooldude832]

it will still return it

you are exploding it apart it so

 

<?php
$fruits = "Apples";
$veggies = "Tomato,";
echo "There are: ".count(explode($fruits))." Fruits and ".count(explode($veggies))." Veggies.";
# There are 1 Fruits and 1 Veggies
?>

 

 

Also that single "veggie" will be tomato not tomato, beacuse explode extracts the delimiter.

You haven't supplied the delimiter in the explodes
