Spliting a Variable?

I was wondering if there was a way to split a variable into a set amount of peices?

 

there area few, depending on what you want to split the variable up by (e.g a delimeter, a number of characters)

 

Yes, but implementation really depends on variable type. Supply more details if you want to get an answer.

 

you can split in various ways

i personally like explode (which separates by delimiter [in my example below : a space] into an array)
$newvar = explode(" ",$var);
echo $newvar[0];

 

more details...
the variable to long and so when i request it via XMLHTTPREQUEST, it gets cut off by firefox. However, If I split the variable, and then request two to three separate variables, I dont run into the problem.

Codeber's method should work just fine. Thanks Codeber

 

codeber, thats not the way to split up a variable, thats the way to split up a string in the variable..

Thanx
