[PHP] explode and PATH_SEPARATOR

[Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso]

Taking this code:
pre
?php
define (PATH_SEPARATOR, /);
$String=Root/One/Two/Three/Last;
$arr = explode ( PATH_SEPARATOR, $String );
var_dump ( $arr );
$arr = explode ( /, $String );
var_dump ( $arr );
?
/pre
It works fine in second case returing a five elements array, but in the 
first one it returns an array with just one elemen that's the source 
string itself. I've test it also changing PATH_SEPARATOR by SEPARATOR in 
both cases, and it works nice... Is PATH_SEPARATOR any kind of reserved 
word or so?

Thx.

This constant is part of the directory functions.

PATH_SEPARATOR is is a predefined constant, so you'll need to use 
something else, but you still need to put quotes around it:

define('NOT_PATH_SEPARATOR', '/');
