Please, I'm new to php and I got this code from a friend for my project. I want to split the text message using spaces (e.g 34 Lekan Balogun Grade8) before its inserted into my database. My table fields are: StudentID, LastName, FirstName, Class and so I will want it posted as 34 for ID, Lekan for Lastname, Balogun for Firstname and Grade8 entered into class. Thanks in anticipation.

Answer 1

You can use explode() funnction in php for this
$str = '34 Lekan Balogun Grade8';
$arr = explode(' ',$str);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($arr);

Answer 2

You can split the string values using "explode" function,
$textArray = #explode(" ",$txt);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($textArray);
echo "</pre>";

Answer 3

This is you complete code
if (mysqli_connect_errno()==0)
{ // if successfully connected
$sent_dt=$_POST['scts'];
// important: escape string values
$txt=mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['text']);
$snd=mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['sender']);
$arr = explode(' ',$txt);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($arr);
$StudentID = $arr['0'];
$LastName = $arr['1'];
$FirstName = $arr['2'];
$Class = $arr['3']
// creating an sql statement to insert the message into the SMS_IN table
$sql="INSERT INTO SMS_IN(sms_text,sender_number,sent_dt) VALUES ('$txt','$snd','$sent_dt')";
// executing the sql statement
$insert_sms_success = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
// closing the connection
mysqli_close($con);
}
