    Hy,

    I have and explode issue.

    I need to brake a string by more than one separators:

    EX: $vars = "var1/var2-var3/var4-var5-var6/var7"

    from this i need do get every var so explode("/",$vars) or explode ("-",$vars) just wouldn't do it.

    Many thanks

    can you use str_replace?

    I agree. DO something like this:

    

$vars = "var1/var2-var3/var4-var5-var6/var7";

$formattedVars = str_replace('-','/',$vars);

$array = explode('/',$formattedVars);

//or into a single statement
$array = explode('/',str_replace('-','/',$vars));

    You can also use preg_split()
    
$chunks = preg_split('/[\/-]/', $vars);
