Splitting strings

PHP Splitting string into an array (*from php forum) I found it interesting that there was not a simple split in php, it is something I use continuously. Turns out it is not split but actually str_getcsv Usage: $dat="string1,string2,string3"; $spl = str_getcsv($dat,","); echo $spl[0]; echo $spl[1]; echo $spl[2];
