[Resolved] Explode() Problem

[exfuga]

I am having trouble using the explode function on my server. I can use explode(), but not when i use line breaks and tabs in the arguments. For example:

$str = explode(", 

				blah		", $string);

Doesn't work well. I know that this is appropriate syntax, because it works fine on the PHP installation that came with AppServ, on my Windows XP system. Both of the versions of PHP are the same... 4.3.10. My server is running Fedora Core 2.

If any one knows what to config to make this work on my linux server... please help.

The problem is probably that your line breaks are different on your linux and windows boxes.

Your code written on a Windows box says that this linebreak >>>

is a chr(13).chr(10) combo

On your linux box, it's probably just chr(10), no chr(13)

On macs, I think its just chr(13), no chr(10)

So your code dutifully looks for chr(13)chr(10) and finds no match to explode.

My solution is to do a blanket search and replace on the string to be exploding

$string=str_replace(chr(13).chr(10), chr(10), $string);
$string=str_replace(chr(13), chr(10), $string);

do the same with your exploding string:
$string=(",
blah,
") ;

$explodeOnThis=str_replace(chr(13).chr(10), chr(10), $explodeOnThis);
$explodeOnThis=str_replace(chr(13), chr(10), $explodeOnThis);

Then

$myexplode=explode($explodeOnThis, $string);

Your solution fixed it perfectly. Thank you ever so much, I thought I'd need to config my server some how for this to work.
