undefined offset when using php explode()

Question

I\'ve written what I thought was a very simple use of the php explode() function to split a name into forename and surname:

// split name into f         


        

Answer 1

this is because your fullname doesn't contain a space. You can use a simple trick to make sure the space is always where

 $split = explode(' ', "$fullname ");

(note the space inside the quotes)

BTW, you can use list() function to simplify your code

  list($first, $last) = explode(' ', "$fullname ");
