grep in php

[Papa]

Hi all..

I've got a name like:

name.surname_tel

I would like to separate the 3 object like:

$var1 = name
$var2 = surname
$var3 = tel

I studied the strrpos() and substr()
but it seems it doesn't work
:(

Well those could be used to solve your problem, they do work if you use
them correctly. Show us what you did so far and we may be able to tell
you what you are doing wrong.

Well they all work.
Look again at www.php.net

good luck,

Something like this should work quick... (untested)

$name='name.surname_tel';
if(preg_match('`^[^.]+)\.([^_]+)_(.*)$`',$name,$match)){
$var1=$match[1];
$var2=$match[2];
$var3=$match[3];
}else{
$var1 = $var2 = $var3 = '';
}

Why don't you try explode? Something like this

$var="name.surname_tel";
$tmp1=explode("_",$var);
$var_tel=$tmp1[1];
$tmp2=explode(".",$tmp1[0]);
$var_name=$tmp2[0];
$var_surname=$tmp2[1];

Assuming that "." and "_" only appear as separators, you could do:

list($name, $surname, $tel) = split("[._]", $input);
