Question

Is it possible to count from a specific array in explode?

Example:

<?php
$number='This is the number of,5,6,7,8,9';
$collect=explode(",",$number);
print_r($collect);
?>

Output will be:

Array ( [0] => This is the number of [1] => 5 [2] => 6 [3] => 7 [4] => 8 [5] => 9 )

But I need to ignore the first array. Meaning, that I want to count only 5,6,7,8,9 and ignore "This is the number of".

Answer 1

just use the below code instead of yours… here I am just adding a new line… the 4th one…

<?php
$number='This is the number of,5,6,7,8,9';
$collect=explode(",",$number);
array_shift($collect); // remove the first index from the array
print_r($collect);
?>

Output:

 Array ( [0] => 5 [1] => 6 [2] => 7 [3] => 8 [4] => 9 )
