Okay, I'll take a shot at it: $answer = preg_split('|[, ]|', $myString); var_dump($answer);Will give more than 2 parts for strings containing both or multiples. Now please irradiate your hands. -Stut
This should work for you.
<?php
$myString = "Here is my first, attempt!";
$answer = preg_split('|[, ]|', $myString, 2);
var_dump($answer);
?>
