PHP：将一个字段分成两个

Question

As many recommend me to separate firstname and lastname instead of "full_name" with everything in, how can I separate them to each variables, so if for you example type in the field: "Dude Jackson" then "Dude" gets in $firstname and Jackson in the $lastname.

Answer 1

Assuming first name always comes first and there's no middle name:

list($firstname, $lastname) = explode(' ', $full_name);

This simply explodes $full_name into an array containing two strings if they're separated by only one space, and maps them to the first and last name variables respectively.
