i need to split words and add to a array from filter input.
i can split words with [ ] (Space character). But also i need to not split “word1 word2” with space character.
for example: Filter input “word1 word2” word3 word4
my array will need to be like this after split
arr[0] = word1 word2
arr[1] = word3
arr[2] = word4
can some one help me about this?
By the way im sorry for my poor english.
Thanx
The easiest solution would be to “split” the string using preg_match_all() function, like this:
[php]
<?php $content = '"word1 word2" word3 word4'; if (preg_match_all('/[^\s"]+|"([^"]*)"/', $content, $matches)){ echo '';
print_r($matches[0]);
echo '';
}
?>
[/php]
The above code will produce the following output:
Array
(
[0] => "word1 word2"
[1] => word3
[2] => word4
)And here is a brief explanation of regular expression: [^\s"]+|"([^"]*)"
MATCH:
