Splitting up a string ??

[habbardone]

Hello,

I have a string that contains two pieces of information that are always seperated by /-/ and I want to split them up into two strings.

Eg. $a : "Jenkins/-/D4567"
should become $b : Jenkins and $c D4567

and $a : "Havas/-/888" -> $b : Havas $c : 888

What is the simplest way to break up $a ?

Thanks for your help.
David

maybe [man]explode[/man] is of help?

$str="John/-/Doe";

$pieces = explode("/-/", $str);
echo $pieces[0]; // John
echo $pieces[1]; // Doe
