Question

$split_point = ' - '; $string = 'this is my - string - and more'; 

How can I make a split using the second instance of $split_point and not the first one. Can I specify somehow a right to left search?

Basically how do I explode from right to left. I want to pick up only the last instance of " – ".

Result I need:

$item[0]='this is my - string'; $item[1]='and more'; 

and not:

$item[0]='this is my'; $item[1]='string - and more'; 

Answer 1

You may use strrev to reverse the string, and then reverse the results back:

$split_point = ' - '; $string = 'this is my - string - and more';  $result = array_map('strrev', explode($split_point, strrev($string))); 

Not sure if this is the best solution though.
