Maybe some kind of preg_match or 3 strpos in a row...
If the array will be HUGE these might be faster, but you could also
just "hide" the temp array with something like:
function third($needle, $string){
$temp = explode($needle, $string);
return $temp[3];
}
There was discussion on PHP-Internals about allowing the syntax you
just typed above (though $array is really a $string, right?) but I
don't think it passed muster...
Go use C++ or something if you want to type things that complicated.
