[FX.php List] FMPHP API

i would stay away from strtok()

strtok() is a confusing function because it has an internal stack  
that 'remembers' how many times you've called it and then you have to  
call it the number of times that you have strings to split.

much better and more widely used and standard is to use this  
construction using list() and explode()

$variable = "311 something";
list($number,$word) = explode(' ',$variable);

now you'll have two nicely named variables one that has the number  
and one that has the word

cheers,
dan
