array, explode, implode

andrewdunstall

Hello,
I have some directories named jones_fred, smith_jack, graves_robin
etc

I need to get these names into variables in this format:
var1 = "fred jones"
var2 = "jack smith"
var3 = "robin graves"

These will then populate some buttons in another application.
The folder names start off with last name first for ordering purposes.
For the life of me I cannot figure this out. I can get part of it working, but trying implode, explode, etc gives me an array (with fred as one value and jones as another value), I'm getting tied in mental knots. I am sure this is very easy to accomplish but if someone could set me on the correct path I be much obliged. I have spent several hours trying to work it out on my own, but I just don't have the overview to get the code correct.

regards,

AndyD

Just for clarification ... this is NOT a course work assignment?

Check out [man]split/man, [man]str_replace/man, and, for the win, [man]array_reverse/man.

Would probably help if you posted the section of code you have done thus far with regards to this issue. Helps others see the context of what's happening and can better help out as a result.

I'll ignore the fact that you are a a rude wanker and just thank you for your help.
No it's not coursework - I built Flash websites, this latest one needs a backend, so I'm stumbling through PHP getting together what I need.
Sheesh.

And I'll avoid getting into a 4th grade shouting match by telling you how you know what you claim in line one.

I'll also apologize for assuming that because you didn't have a post count or show any code that I overlooked your fine use of the English language and polite question with a complete explanation of what you wanted to do. History's with me on it, though; the present case is an exception, we presume.

So, did array_reverse() help? If not, are you going to S.U.T.C?

Civility starts now, or the thread will be closed "with prejudice". And no 4th-grade retorts about who started it.
