String manipulation problem

[denhamd2]

Hi,

I have a variable $var which contains a delimeter "|"

I need to get rid of everything after and including the "|"

Is this possible?

Hi,

you can use strtok to do this:

<?PHP
$string = strtok($string, "|");
?>

or

<?php
$string = "Hello|World";
$str_ary = explode($string,'|');
echo $str_ary[0];
?>

prints Hello

Actually drawmack, when using explode(), the delimiter comes before the string....

<?php 
$string = "Hello|World"; 
$str_ary = explode('|',$string); 
echo $str_ary[0]; 
?>

[drawmack]

opps that'll teach me not to look up functions.
