[Solved] Splitting Query String

[brown monkey]

Dunno if my question meets my needs here.

I'm having problem with this code

    $code=$_GET['code'];
    echo $code;
    $col=split('.',$code);
    if($col[1]=='vb'){
        $h->vb_file("source/".$code);
    }
    else if($col[1]=='cs'){
        $h->csharp_file("source/".$code);
    }
    else if($col[1]=='php'){
        highlight_file("source/".$code);
    }

It echoes the $code (highlight.php) say I have showcode.php?code=highlight.php, but... it doesn't go through the if's. Am I missing something?

Why don't you put a debugging echo statement in your if cases to see which case is true? The problem may lie in your function call inside the successful if.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is neither of the three if is true. And even $col is something of a Nothing;

    $code=$_GET['code'];
    echo $code; // prints highlight.php
    $col=split(".",$code);

    echo $col[0]; // prints nothing
    if($col[1]=='vb'){
        echo "hello world"; // not executed
        $h->vb_file("source/".$code);
    }
    else if($col[1]=='cs'){
        echo "hello world"; // not executed
        $h->csharp_file("source/".$code);
    }
    else if($col[1]=='php'){
        echo "hello world"; // not executed
        highlight_file("source/".$code);
    }

From PHP.Net

split -- Split string into array by regular expression

The regular expression "." matches any non newline character, so you'll just get an array full of blanks. Use the explode() function instead.
