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);
