Tokenizing
What does tokenizing mean? No matter what I read about it, it doesnt make sense to me. What is a token? What does it do? (Other than let you play games at chuckee cheese)

i think you should change the topic name so people know what this thread is gunna be about.
anyway i think you mean token as in what is used in something like a token-ring network. i doubt this is a relevant php code topic.
token ring networks work so that a virtual token is passed between the machines, only the machine currently in possession of the token can transmit (and receive?) data. this prevents data collision.
i hope im not way off topic and someone can probably elaborate on my explanation of a token ring network (or correct it, hehe).

It's about tokenizing...jayshields wrote:i think you should change the topic name so people know what this thread is gunna be about.
I don't mean whatever you thought I meant I mean like strtok() which is relevant to php... so would ya mind moving this thread back to php code?
From how php.net explains it, it is no different than explode... except it doesn't put the smaller parts into an array it puts them into something else of which I am not certain... I am confused about the whole thing.
This topic is about theory and design. I have yet to see any mention of PHP code. It's good where it isThe Ninja Space Goat wrote:It's about tokenizing...jayshields wrote:i think you should change the topic name so people know what this thread is gunna be about.
