complex split() help needed

[jburfield]

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this one...

On a form a user can input a search phrase. What I want to do is strip the search phrase as follows:

User inputs: "Apache Server", linux, intel

I want to end up with an array of three items:
Apache Server
linux
intel

The only part I'm having some problems with is the "Apache Server" part.

How can I strip out a quoted piece of text from the input?

split("\"", $string) does not work because it splits once for each quote, so that doesn't work...

Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

Thanks!

This produces the specified results, but I'm not sure if it's what you need:
$string = str_replace("\"","",$string);
$array = split (",",$string);

Dang!

That was what I was playing with but you made me think of something that made it all work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool. Many thanks.
