spliting a string ??

[stuartc1]

Hi,
I know this is an easy one (once you know how). What I need to do is split a string into two like this -
original string maybe like this 2.87 I need a variable with 2 and an other with 87.

Thanks alot folks.

$vals = explode(".",$string);

$vals[0] will contain the integer
$vals[1] will contain the rest.

As simple as that.

I'm sure there is a 'nicer' way to do it. But this one works fine..

Look at the explode function

$string = "2.87";

$array = explode(".",$string);

echo array[0]; // Prints 2
echo array[1]; // Prints 87

Hope this helps!
