$line = explode("[(&|//)]",$field); should work, or you might have to put
//// but thats not \ so you shouldn't need to comment out the slash...

Subject: [PHP] split() function
> I have a comma separated spreadsheet with one field that contains two
dates. the dates are formatted as dd/mm/yy and separated by either '&' or
'//' ex:3/12/92&28/1/93 or 3/12/92//28/1/93
> Problem: I need to split the field at the '&' or '//' separator but if I
do
> split('[&//]', $field);
> it splits on the '/' not the '//'.
> Can I do this in one function call to split() or will I have to do it
twice?
