That's why I skipped the regular expression and irregular expression and
grep stuff and used explode :-)  All it takes is the string and the
delimiter and it feeds you back an array.  I've been using it to pass
parameters in the $QUERY_STRING when I don't use $HTTP_POST_VARS.  You can
even have strings within it that are delimited by something else.  I put
everything together with &s and then if there's a group of things in there
that I want to keep together I use @.  It works well.

Does this answer your question?  I'm still new to PHP (I think I started in
Oct. or Nov.) but that's basically all I've been doing since then.  That's
why I've tried to stick with the methods that make the most sense and cut
down on some of my learning curve :-)

Good luck!
