str_replace = ("-", "", (array))

[rayzun]

the incoming data is a text file, comma delimited

working with a array
apples = $part[1]
pine-apples = $part[2]

can I check to see
if $part[2] contains a "-"
and if true
split $part[2] into 2 $vars?

extreme example:
echo "$vars2-1"; //result pine
echo "$vars2-2"; //result apples

I really have no boundaries to my imagination

$var = 'part1-part2-part3';

if (strpos($var, '-') !== false)
{
	$explode = explode('-', $var);
	foreach ($explode as $value) {echo $value . '<br>';}
}

I'm feeling bored so I'm going to play the "how many different ways can we solve the same problem" game.

if(($n = strpos($var, '-')) !== false) {
  $var1 = substr($var, 0, $n-1);
  $var2 = substr($var, $n);
  echo($var1."<br />\n".$var2);
}

wow thanks for the great snippets

what if var was really
htmlentities(urlencode($array[0]))

oops
I the text file shows a space, its only after urlencode which changes the blankspace to "-"

I can urlencode as the final process.
