Question

I’ve got a string of:

test1.doc,application/msword,/tmp/phpDcvNQ5,0,23552 

I want the first part before the comma. How do I get the first part ‘test1.doc’ on it’s own without the rest of the string?

The string came from an array I imploded:

$uploadFlag=implode( ',', $uploadFlag );
echo $uploadFlag;

If it’s easier to extract just the first value off the array on it’s own that would also do the job. I don’t think the array has any keys.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

$parts = explode(',', $uploadFlag);
$firstPart = $parts[0];
