[snip] I am having a user enter a phrase into a textbox, and then I need to seperate the words he has typed into variables so I can use each one in an sql statement. I know I will use the explode() function to do this, but how will I know how many variables I've created. For instance, if a
user types in 3 words seperated by spaces, how will I know i'll have var[0] through var[2]? how about when they type in 2 words or 4 words? How will I know how many words they have typed in? The only way I can think of to do this is: [/snip] Use count() http://www.php.net/count Counts the array ... $arrayFoo = explode(" ", $theLine); $countFoo = count($arrayFoo); for($i = 0; $i < $countFoo; $i++){ echo $arrayFoo[$i]; } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
