如何在字符串中的最后一个短划线后获得部分？

Question

im new to php and i still dont know all, but here is what i need.

$entry= "Beyonce - Halo.mp3"

I seperate artist and title using this

"artist" => basename(strstr(" ".ucwords($entry), "- ", true )),
"title" => basename(substr(strrchr(ucwords($entry), "- "), 1), ".mp3"),

Can anyone tell me how to get the next text after " - " not from last, because in some cases we had song like this

$entry= "Beyonce - Halo - AlbumName.mp3"

and it get the "AlbumName" as title and its wrong! How can i fix it? Thank you.

Answer 1

The title of your post is a bit confusing because I don't see anything about directories in your post, but I'm assuming you're looking at files on the filesystem, and you want to separate out things like the artist and song name based on either the file name or the directory they are contained in.

That being said, you can try out the php explode() function!

So you might use it like this:

$array_of_piece = explode('-', $song_title);

then you'd end up with an array consisting of pieces like:

('Beyonce ', ' Halo ', ' Albumname.mp3')

You could also split on ' - ' to get rid of some of the white space as well.
