explode function help

[MJB3K]

Hi, i have this code to split some text using the explode function

<?php
$cmd = $_POST['theCmd'];
$bs = $_POST['beenSub'];

if($bs == "yes"){
	$doCmd = explode(" ", $cmd);
	$command = "Command used: " . $doCmd[0] . " " .$doCmd[1]. " Reason: " . $doCmd[2];
}
?>

<form name="CLI" action="index.php" method="post"> 
<input name="theCmd" type="text" id="theCmd" size="100%"> 
<input type="hidden" name="beenSub" value="yes"> 
</form>

However, it only pics up the first word, how do i make it pick up all the words after the first command??

e.g. type admin_closesite 1 "reason here"

it picks up the admin_closesite 1 but it would only pick up the word reason, not reason here?

How do i make it pick all words after inside the ""'s??

any ideas??


Regards,

Martin

That would probably be because explode() doesn't pay any attention to the quote-context of the string. If you do:

print_r ($doCmd);

You'll probably see that the array has four elements, not three, because explode() is splitting the string at the space inside the quotes.

Try experimenting with the limit input parameter of explode(). I think

$doCmd = explode(" ", $cmd, [red]3[/red]);

might get you closer to what you want
