simple slit to array func help

[skip]

Hi all,

I am trying to split a sting by whitespace into an array I can do this no problem in ASP by my PHP is a bit slack.

function extractdate($myrow) {
$datearray = array();
$datearray = split(' ',$myrow);
return($datearray);
}

*/ 
this should return an array
Monday
28
January
/*

$myrow = "Monday 28 January"

can anyone see where I am going wrong.

Thanks all in advance.

You might want to use [man]explode/man instead of split(), since split() is regex based. That said, your code snippet should work.

function extractDate($datestr) {
	return explode(' ', $datestr);
}

$myrow = "Monday 28 January";
$date = extractDate($myrow);
print_r($date);
