Question

I’ve been trying to figure this out as I’ve never needed to do this before, but how would I remove 2 parts of the string? This is what I have so far..

str_replace('/pm ', '', $usrmsg)

$usrmsg would be what the user sent in my chat room, I’ve already removed /pm but this needs 2 variables…

1: The username
2: The message to the user

Usernames don’t have spaces, therefore after the 2nd word, the message to the user will be inputted. How can I remove the first 2 parts of the string separately?

Answer 1

$string = '/pm username bla bla bla';

list($comand, $user, $text) = explode(" ", $string, 3);

// $comand  --> /pm
// $user    --> username
// $text    --> bla bla bla

or simply

list(, $user, $text) = explode(" ", $string, 3);
