string manipulation

[brianm]

I want to take a field consisting of an english phrase (variable length) and split it into several fields, one for each English word, ie a string of variable length bounded by spaces. I've searched the PHP manual and found several functions that I need once the field is split up, but no clues as to how to split up the field.
Ideas welcome!

Ummmmm...maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what about split()?

$string = "This is some string";
$foo = array();
$foo = split($string);

echo $foo[0] . "\n";
echo $foo[1] . "\n";
echo $foo[2] . "\n";

hi,

you can use explode() function for the same.

$pizza = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6";
$pieces = explode(" ", $pizza);
