In what case would you have a semi-colon in the string?

 Aaron,

 Thanks for the advise, but I'm got a problem. If I first split it up by
/;/,
 how do I catch it if there's a semi-colon inside a string?

  Lewis,
 
  First I would look at breaking out the tags:
 
  // User: JohnDoe; age=32; nickname=Billy 'the' Kid;
 haircolor=orange;
 
  $string = 'User: JohnDoe; age=32; nickname=Billy \'the\' Kid;
  haircolor=orange;';
  $stringArray = preg_split('/;/', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
 
  Then split by the = or :
 
  // split by = or :
 
  foreach ($stringArray as $item) {
  list($tag, $element) = preg_split('/\:|\=/', $item, 1,
  PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
  echo $tag = $elementbr /;
  }

   I am trying to learn more about regular expressions as I haven't used
 them
   much in the past. I am working with email, and I'm looking for a way
to
   split the following expression up:
  
   Content-Type: text/plain; boundary=whatever;
  
   Using   /^(\S+)\:\s*(.+)$/iU   I can split it into:
  
   [Content-Type] and [text/plain; boundary=whatever;]
  
   Problem is, it might have different tags. Here's a sketch of the whole
   thing:
  
   [Header Name a-zA-Z0-9] [\s*] [:] [\s*] [ Header value a-zA-Z0-9/_ ]
 [\s*]
   [;] [ unlimited repeating pattern of ( [Property Name a-zA-Z0-9] [\s*]
 [=]
   [\s*] ( string optionally surrounded by quotes - but necessary if
value
  has
   spaces - but can't include quotes ) [\s*] [;] ) ]
  
   So, if I had:
  
   User: JohnDoe; age=32; nickname=Billy 'the' Kid; haircolor=orange;
  
   I would need:
  
   User - JohnDoe - age - 32 - nickname - Billy 'the' Kid -
 haircolor -
   orange
  
   in the outputted array. I have no idea how to do repeating patterns
like
   this...maybe I'm making this too complex?
  
   Thanks for your help!

Probably none of the standard headers, but perhaps a custom header defined
by the user. It's allowed for in RFC 822 and I'd like to support it.

Why do you ask? Do you have a solution?
