[Resolved] split the output

maxelism

hi,

the output is :
$output = "section1 : section2 : section3";

as you see all 3 sections are separated by ":" .

how can I split and delete "section 1" and and add bold for section 2
and get something like

section2 : section3

Thanks

$output_arr=explode(':',$output);
unset($output_arr[0]);
$output_arr[1]="<b>".$output_arr[1]."</b>";
$output=implode('',$output_arr);

$output = "Section 1:Section 2:Section3";

$output = explode(":", $output);

echo "<B>".$output[1]."</B>:".$output[2];

This is the easiest way if it is just the three things. Otherwise, you would have to create a loop to run through the entire array. (like if you had 5, 6 sections or more)

Oh, and one more thing, please do not post to more than one area... You may want to delete either this thread, or this one so that your answers are consolidated, and you don't get confused or confuse others.

Thanks Bubblenut , Thanks TheDefender
both work very well.

I dont know if I can fix the problem that I have here http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10277932
using these codes. I should see how it goes:queasy:

Thanks again

It should work for you... Just assume your $output is set to the values you mentioned in that post instead of the generic example you give here. What you are trying to do can be done very easily.

I would definitely mark this thread resolved, and go to your other post with the info we gave here, and ask for help incorporating what we gave you here, into your real life example there.

Good Luck, and have fun with it.
