PHP: Help with explode ect ect.

[Luckyrare]

Hey guys I am looking for some help for my user system pips

Okay this is what I have writen


$one = 'pipone.gif|piptwo.gif|pipthree.gif|pipfour.gif';
explode('|', $one);
$two = array("$one");
reset($two);
while (list(, $three) = each($two)) {
echo "<img src='$three' />";
}
this is simply outputing a dead image that is called "pipone.gif|piptwo.gif|pipthree.gif|pipfour.gif" so I guess the explode has been used wrong?

Thanks guys,
Danny

Well it looks to me like you are using explode correctly but if I understand correctly do you not have to echo $one like:



explode('|', $one);
echo '$one';


I've never really needed to use explode so I may be wrong.

No that will just print the arrays with an image. ;) Thanks for your idea anyway

as I understand it the explode() command returns an array of a split string so you dont need to use an array()...

for example..

$line = "Hello|World|1|Dog";
$explode = explode("|", $line);
echo $explode[0]; //Would echo Hello
echo $explode[1]; //Would echo World
echo $explode[2]; //Would echo 1
echo $explode[3]; //Would echo Dog

mmmm, is there any better way of doing this so I can have as many arrays/pips as I want but without having to number them.

Thanks,

I thought as Splinter said you had to echo them I was just not sure in which way.

ah yes spliter that will work for me. I would rep you but I cant ;)

Thanks dude
