RE: parse string

["ET Support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron,

Not aware of an existing function for that task... but - since it looks like
all the value are strictly in quotes (="value") - if you know all the 'var's
ahead of time (such as 'carrier') then you could extract the data fairly
easily going through the data line by line checking with strpos and using
substr to get the values... it'll take some work, but it'll do the job...

Cheers,
Ben

Subject: parse string


Hi,

I need to parse a String like pasted below for all information (values)
those are included like 'var=value'. How can I do that? Are there any
XML-parsing functions available those'd fit for that job? I've ust found
that one (http://ca.php.net/simplexml) but it seems like i could use it
only for exctracting the 'terms' cause they're in the format that
simplexml
expects.
Thank you for every help!
