i have a simple script i am trying to create. but its very repetitive and i want to be able to select and remove some text starting at a certain point in the string.

for example if i have a string like this:

$foo = "whats your favorite color: a)red b)blue c)green";
$questions= "whats your favorite color:";
$answers= "a)red b)blue c)green";

as you can see from my $foo string, i want to be able to break it up into two separate string one to be the $question and another to be the $answers

how can i do this?

you can use this example:

<?php
$Question = "whats your favorite color: a)red b)blue c)green";
$Separator = 'a)';
function SplitString($Haytack, $Needle){
	$Result = array();
	if(strstr($Haytack, $Needle)){
		$Result['Answer'] = strstr($Haytack, $Needle);
		$Result['Question'] = str_replace($Result['Answer'],'',$Haytack);
		
		return $Result;
	}else{
		return false;	
	}
}


if($Check = SplitString($Question, $Separator)){
	echo '<PRE>';print_r($Check);echo '</PRE>';
}else{
	echo 'error, did not find <b>'.$Separator.'</b> in <b>'.$Question.'</b>';
}
?>

OUPUT:

Array
(
    [Answer] => a)red b)blue c)green
    [Question] => whats your favorite color: 
)
