with slight modifications, yes... that will work.
1) PHP doesnt support built-in regexp's
(which is a constant sore in the side of any perl programmer)
so you'll have to ditch the /:/ for ':'
2) you have to declare lists as list(), unlike the
assumed behaviour in perl when it sees () = ...
this is how you'd do it in PHP
$str = 'C:programs:this:that.exe';
list($one, $two) = split(':', $str);
print $one ."<BR>\n";
print $two ."<BR>\n";
not very different, but different enough to be annoying :)
