question about splitting a string.

[nephish]

Hey there,

in my code, i have a variable that represents a string that i need to split up into other values.

like this $var = 'OH r>y 1.2t'

is there a way i can just seperate it at the whitespace between them, so i could have like
$var_a = 'OH'
$var_b = 'r>y'
$var_c = '1.2t'

?

i dont know how to do this part in php. i can find each character by index (that is in my book) but sometimes the first part of the string is going to be longer than the other part.

thanks

$var = 'OH r>y 1.2t' ;

list($var_a, $var_b, $var_c) = split(" ", $var);

// better to just stuff it into an array in case it splits into more elements than you have vars 

$arrVar = split(" ", $var);

You could also use the [MAN]explode(); function[/MAN], me thinks:

<?php
$var = 'OH r>y 1.2t' ;
// explode string
$arrVar = explode(" ", $var);
?>
