Errors Using Preg_split to separate by commas

[rookwood]

I am trying to split some strings up by commas with preg_split but I keep on getting the error: "No ending delimiter ',' found"

 

Here is my Code:

$links = preg_split(',', $links);
$titles = preg_split(',', $titles);
$images = preg_split(',', $images);

 

Thanks,

Alex

alternatively you can use explode

 

$split=explode(",", $links);
echo "1. $split[0] <br/>2. $split[1] etc etc...";

Thanks it works now

Thanks it works now

 

You see now that explode() is the more appropriate function, but to answer you question:  preg functions need a regular expression which consists of some starting and ending delimiters.  They can be most anything but common ones that you will see are / # ~.

 

$links = preg_split('/,/', $links);
