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...
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? :D
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 is :roll: :roll:

let's stop the meta-discussion, guys. It's a PHP board, not a text-exegesis board.
