Manual says this is correct but it's not

BRUm

$host = "one.two.three.four";
parse_url($host);
explode(".", $host);
echo $host[0];
echo $host[1];
echo $host[2];
echo $host[3];

This should show:

one two three four

But it only gives

one

😕

Because you did not define it as an aray...

$host = array(one.,two.,three.,four);

BRUm

Well that's amazing, PHP Builder's Manual didn't define it as an array either

Thanks 🙂

PHP's manual also didn't throw away the result of the [man]explode[/man] function, but put it into a variable instead. $host is still the string you started with, and you're echoing out characters 0..3 of that: 'o', 'n', 'e', and '.'.

The parse_url() call isn't having any effect either, for the same reason.

Yes!

$host = explode(".", $host);
echo $host[0];
echo $host[1];
echo $host[2];
echo $host[3];

Woops, I realised just after you'd helped me ^_
