How to split a string?

beyelerc

Can anybody tell me, how to split the following string in two strings?
original string:
$string ="rou0123.hils.ch_8.txt"

As a result I would like:

$stringA ="rou0123"
$stringB ="8"

thank you for your support

Read the manual on explode()

<?php

$string="rou0123.hils.ch_8.txt";
list($stringA,,,$string😎=split("(_|.)",$string);

echo $string."<BR>\n";
echo $stringA."<BR>\n";
echo $stringB."<BR>\n";

That would do it, there's probably a better way but that's what I came up with off the top of my head.

or do this:
$string="rou0123.hils.ch_8.txt";
$stringArray=explode(".",$string);
$stringA=$StringArray[0];
$stringB=$StringArray[2];
echo $stringA."\n";
echo $stringB."\n";

try this. explode puts each section of the string (with the "." being the delimiter) into an array .

to put everything back together, use:

implode(".",$stringArray);

join(".",$stringArray);

-j

That would produce:

rou1023
ch_8

If you read the question again, you'll see that's not exactly what Christian wanted.
