In a query result, I want to store everything leading UP TO a certain string, the </a> in <a href="imgpath" imgsrc="imgpath"></a> and then everything AFTER the </a> to a second variable.
[edit] a rephrasing of the question:
the value in $row[post_content] would be something like "<ahref=''><image></a><p>copy</p>" ...
i need to split this into $val1 = "<ahref=''><image></a>"; and $val2 = "<p>copy</p>";
This is probably done with substr()? but i have no idea how, and I HAVE searched, and found nothing but references to bad character sets in mysql because of my use of the term ‘character’ in my search.
