help replacing split() please.

[allan smith]

I have the following code aand understand split()is deprecated - please can someone help out with replacement code.

foreach ($lines as $l) {
  if (trim($l) != "") {
    $t = (array)split("\r\n", trim($l));
    if ($t[1] == 'TRUE') $total_items++;
  }
} 

Thanks

Allan

$t = preg_split('/\r\n/', trim($l)); 

However, since you are not doing anything that requires the use of a regular expression, I would just use explode():

$t = explode("\r\n", trim($l)); 

(Although from the variable name "$lines", it at least sounds a bit strange that there would be carriage-return/newlines within each line, especially after trim()-ing any that might be at the end of the line?)

Thanks for that.

It is correct - it is analysing a string that has been stored in a text file, which originates from a user multi-line input text box.

But - then I didn't code the original app and aren't a PHP coder hence the request - the app works, except for the warning since our ISP upgraded PHP
