Help with strtok

[nca]

$tok = strtok ($textwithdecimal, ".");

The above code works great, it stores everything before the decimlal as $tok. But now I want it to gather the rest of the text after the decimal, how do I do that?

I tried, thinking logically, this...

$secondtok = strtok (".", $textwithdecimal);

But it did not work.

I'd suggest you use either explode or a combination of strpos and substr

If you want to output the string without the "." characters, simply use something like

$stringwithoutdots = ereg_replace(".", " ", $stringwithdots);

Or if you want to have each separated part of the string (split with the "." as a delimeter), use split() :

$string_arrayed = split(".", $stringwithdots);

Each section of the string will now be a respective element of the array $string_arraryed

eg. If the string was hello.there.howdy, $string_arrayed[0] would be "hello", $string_arrayed[1] would be "there", and $string_arrayed[2] would be "howdy".

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks, I got it working with explode. 🆒

epp_b,

split is a regular expression function, and an unescaped dot in a regex pattern means just anything, so you probably wouldn't want to use that as splitting criteria?

Oops, forgot about the regex part of split():rolleyes:
