Using the string functions

Code that splits a string

<?php
  $name = 'Ray Harris';
  $i = strpos($name, ' ');
  if ($i === false) {
    $message = 'No spaces were found in the name.';
  } else {
    $first_name = substr($name, 0, $i);    // $first_name = Ray
    $last_name = substr($name, $i+1);      // $last_name = Harris
  }
?>
