[brianshields]

array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");

I want to now be able to load "b" into a variable ($var) then print it
out

print $var

Oh and is it possible to change the delimeters of an array to pipes?

Hmm? What delimiters?

It seems to me like it is time to RTFM. You should lookup arrays
(http://nl.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php) and assignment of
variables (like example 12-11 on`
http://nl.php.net/manual/en/language...s.external.php)

No, atleast not like: array("a"|"b");

You could use an intermediate string and explode that into an array, see
example 2 on http://nl.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php

array basics.

$var1 = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
$var2= $var1[1]; //element at index 1 contains "b"
echo $var2;

Delimiters appear in strings. Delimiters in arrays is meaningless.

You are getting array usage confused a little. You don't "split" an
array! An array is formed when you "split()" a string, however.

examples:
<?php
$str = "a,b,c,d,e,f";
$ary = split(",", $str);

echo $ary[2]; // Outputs "c"
?>

<?php
$ary = array("a","b","c","d","e");
$str = join(",",$str); // puts array together into a string
echo $str; // Outputs "a,b,c,d,e"
?>

later...
