$value = "10-20-30-40-50-87";
//i want to get 30 for example

$aryStr = split("#", $string); 
 print "$aryStr[0]<br>";
 print "$aryStr[1]";

Solution

  • Use PHP explode function to split the $value into an array of Strings.

    $value = "10-20-30-40-50-87";
$pieces = explode("-", $value);
echo $pieces[0]; // 10
echo $pieces[1]; // 20
