[RESOLVED] preg_split

[jrough]

I just want to split an email address at the @ sign .
Why doesn't this work? It isn't even giving me an error.

function spiltEmailAddress($email){
	$arr = preg_split('@',$email);
	echo "hello";
	return $arr ;
}//end function


$email= '[e-mail]';
$array = splitEmailAddress($email);
echo "$user = $array[0]";
echo "$domain = $array[1]";

thanks,

Well then you need to either enable them or turn error_reporting up to E_ALL, because this:

preg_split('@',$email);

is going to cause a warning much like this:

Warning: preg_split(): No ending delimiter '@' found

. Note that [man]preg_match/man expects a regular expression pattern, not just some arbitrary string.

Since you do not need to use regular expressions, however, it would be much easier and more efficient to simply use a function like [man]explode/man instead.
