Re: [PHP] split() function
You don't need a character class here (signified by [] brackets); you can use
$line = split('&|//', $field);
As you can see, this is identical to ReDucTor's solution, except that
the brackets are omitted. Character classes only work for single
characters, not multiple character strings like '//'.

Re: [PHP] split() function
Thanks that helped, this is what I used:
if (ereg("&", $field)) $line = explode("&", $field);
else $line = explode("//", $field);

Re: [PHP] split() function
Thanks for replying ReDucTor but that didn't work either. I tried
$line = explode("[(&|//)]", $field); and
$line = explode("[(&|)]", $field); and
$line = explode("[(&|\/\/)]", $field);
with no success. Any other ideas?

[PHP] split() function
I have a comma separated spreadsheet with one field that contains two dates. the dates
are formatted as dd/mm/yy and separated by either '&' or '//' ex:3/12/92&28/1/93 or
3/12/92//28/1/93
Problem: I need to split the field at the '&' or '//' separator but if I do
split('[&//]', $field);
it splits on the '/' not the '//'.
Can I do this in one function call to split() or will I have to do it twice?
