i found a snippet somewhere which helped me out and i modified it
<?
$input = "and a phrase \"escaping text\" \"howard sux\"";
if (preg_match_all('/(?:"((?:\\\.|[^\\\])*?)"|\b([\S]+)\b)/', $input,
$match)) {
foreach ($match[0] as $key=>$value) {
$keyword .= " +".$value;
}
}
echo $keyword;
?>
so basically u can have a heap of keywords with some in exact phrases within
quotes and it adds the + for you to make it an AND boolean search string for
mysql full text :D

Subject: [PHP] splitting text
hi there , i am building a fulltext search engine which will use the mysql
boolean search features , although it defaults to OR with words between
spaces you have to explictly put a + in front of words so say i typed
"some word" word2 ,to get both i have to do +"some word" +word2
how can i split this phrase "some word" word2 so that i can split "some
word" and word2 into two different words so i can format them , currently
split on a space will split "some word" into "some and word" any ideas ?
