How can I split a string at the first occurrence of - (minus sign) into two $vars with PHP?
I have found how to split on every "-" but, not only on the first occurrence.
example:
this - is - line - of whatever - is - relevant $var1 = this $var2 = is - line - of whatever - is - relevant Note, also stripped the first "-" .
Thanks in advance for the help!

To split a JavaScript string only on the first occurrence of a character, call the slice() method on the string, passing it the index of the character + 1 as a parameter. The slice method will return the portion of the string after the first occurrence of the character.

Use the str. split() method with maxsplit set to 1 to split a string on the first occurrence, e.g. my_str. split('-', 1) .
It's very simple, using an extra paramater to explode that many people don't realize is there:
list($before, $after) = explode('-', $source, 2);

$array = explode('-', 'some-string', 2); Then you could do $var1=$array[0] and $var2=$array[1].
