Can someone with a few more working grey cells prompt me with the
correct command to split a string.
The entered data is names, but I need to split the text up to the
first space or comma into one string, and the rest of the string into
a second. It's the 'first either space or comma' that eludes me at the
moment :(
In know it's probably obvious, but it always is when you know the answer.
$myString = "John Doe";
$pos = strpos($myString, " ") < strpos($myString, ",") ?
strpos($myString, " ") : strpos($myString, ",");
$part1 = substr($myString, 0, $pos);
$part2 = substr($myString, $pos);
I'm glad I asked now, that is a lot nicer than trying to get the preg_split
thing working :)
