String to Array OR String Split

[kamy99]

Hi:
I have some strings in the format of 6:780 , 14:1464, ....

I need to split each string into 2 variables or convert it into an array.

I am aware of the explode() function, however that would grab a number like 14:1464 and turn it into a 2 arrays.
I'd need one array.

I'm not string on regular expression, so that might be another option, basically if I were to do something like this it'd be great:

$data = "14:1464";

some function ($data){};
$a ="14";
$b = "1464";

Thanks for your help 🙂

[man]explode/man would create only one array, with two members:

<?php

$s="14:165";

$r=explode(":",$s);

print_r($r);


Array
(
    [0] => 14
    [1] => 165
)
