explode using more than one seperator

[Anon]

Hey, I want to seperate a string, using charachters ' ', ',' and '\n'

Is there an "easy" way to do this , or must i first, split on \n, then split on " ", the n array_merge it with the split on "," and deleting all the array-elemets except the ones laying "besides" the ',' (or something like this... Anyhow: this is to dirty progamming!)

Please help me!

Instead of using explode you could use split it would be something like.

$string="01/02/03/04.05.06.07-08-09";
$bits=split("[./-]", $string;

$bits will then have an array of the string split on the regular expression.

Mark.
