How to explode a string, for instance
#heavy / machine gun #test
in order to only get "heavy" and "test" ?
I tried with explode but so far I only got "heavy / machine gun" and "test"
Thanks in advance, Jeremie.
Alternative to explode:
$str = "#heavy / machine gun #test";
preg_match_all('/#([^\s]+)/', $str, $matches);
var_dump($matches[1]);
This will basically find all hashtags in a given string.
Re-explode your "first" part on spaces to get 'heavy' only
$heavy = explode (' ', $my_previous_explode[1]); // I guessed you exploded on '#', so array index = 1
A regular expression is obviously more robust in this case but just for laughs:
$str = '#heavy / machine gun #test';
$arr = array_filter(array_map(function($str){
return strtok($str, ' ');
}, explode('#', $str)));
