Hi all,
Suppose I have a long string like
$myStr = "$string1:$string2:$string3";

I can obviously explode them using ":" as the separator. But what if 
$string1 contains the character ":" by itself?

I was thinking, first I am gonna put an escaping character, so I can do 
something like:
$string1 = str_replace(":", "\:", $string1);

But that still won't work with explode. So, what can I use instead of explode? 
Anything simple, and fast?

This is a hypothetical situation. The real situation is that I am trying to 
have a protocol for data sent by client using Flash. But the basic question 
remains.

Thanks for any help.
