strtok

Synopsis

string strtok(string string, string token)
string strtok(string token)

Breaks string into tokens separated by any of the characters in token and returns the next token found. The first time you call strtok() on a string, use the first function prototype; afterward, use the second, providing only the tokens. The function contains an internal pointer for each string it is called with. For example:

$string = "This is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
$current = strtok($string, " .;,\"'");
while(!($current === false)) {
   print($current . "<br />";
}
