help with exploding a string

jpr

Lets say I have a string "South Christian High School"

I want to explode it into a array so that the array looks like this:

var[0] = South Christian High School
var[1] = South
var[2] = Christian
var[3] = High
var[4] = School

Yes I do want to keep the first element in the array to equal the original string.

Thanx!

Try this ...

$string = "South Christian High School";
$exploded = explode(" ",$string);
array_unshift($exploded,$string);

No that did not seem to work, heres my test script:
<?php
$string = "South Christian High School";
$exploded = explode(" ",$string);
array_unshift($exploded,$string);

echo "Var [0] = " . $string[0] . " \n";
echo "Var [1] = " . $string[1] . " \n";
echo "Var [2] = " . $string[2] . " \n";
echo "Var [3] = " . $string[3] . " \n";
echo "Var [4] = " . $string[4] . " \n";
?>

that outputs the following:
Var [0] = S
Var [1] = o
Var [2] = u
Var [3] = t
Var [4] = h

I want it to output this:
Var [0] = South Christian Hight School
Var [1] = South
Var [2] = Christian
Var [3] = High
Var [4] = School

That's because you are echoing the wrong array. Try this ...

$string = "South Christian High School";
$exploded = explode(" ",$string);
array_unshift($exploded,$string);
echo $exploded[0];
echo " ";
echo $exploded[1];
echo " ";
echo $exploded[2];
echo " ";
echo $exploded[3];
echo " ";
echo $exploded[4];

You were echoing the contents of the $string array instead of the $exploded array.
