RE: [PHP-DB] Please help count ?

Dave,

Try:

$postcode_parts = explode(" ", $postcode);

The first part of the postcode will be available in $postcode_parts[0].

Hi All

 

I have a variable returned by my application.

 

For clarity it is a post code so result could be

 

EX3 T56 or BG56 G67 or CA2 123

 

But I only need the first bit of the postcode to continue my search.

 

How do I set my var to only include the first bit of the postcode.

 

It is returned in the format shown, so my question might be how I read
only the first bit before the space.

 

I fully appreciate any kind of help with this and as always thank you in
advance for any help.

you can do this...

$myvar = ecplode(' ', $postcode);
$firsthalf = $myvar[0];

But not everyone puts the space in there
