Can you post your actual code, as what you have posted will not work - this is not correct PHP syntax.

sry for just writting a small part of the code heres the full code !!

<?php
//initializing string
$sqlstring="select m_body from charac0 where c_id = '$char'";
$rsstring=odbc_exec($con,$sqlstring);
$charstring = odbc_result($rsstring,'m_body');
//echo "$charstring <br>";

//explode the string
$temp = explode("\_1",$charstring);

//initialize variable for the string
$EXP = explode("=",$temp[0]);
$SKILL = explode("=",$temp[1]);
$PK = explode("=",$temp[2]);
$RTM = explode("=",$temp[3]);
$SINFO = explode("=",$temp[4]);
$WEAR = explode("=",$temp[5]);
$INVEN = explode("=",$temp[6]);
?>

after the above code i am using this in another php i am lossing all except 1st 2 string 

	//change the skill database
		$SKILL[1] = "4294967295;4294967295;4294967295";

$newString = $temp[0]."\_1".$SKILL[0]."=".$SKILL[1]."\_1".$temp[2]."\_1".$temp[3]."\_1".$temp[4]."\_1".$temp[5]."\_1".$temp[6]."\_1";

You can do:

$array = array_filter( explode( '\_1',$charstring ) );
$data = array();
foreach( $array as $part ) {
  list( $key,$val ) = explode( '=',$part );
  $data[$key] = $val;
}
//edit skill here using
$data['SKILL'] = 'something.....';
$array = array();
foreach( $data as $key => $val ) {
  $array[] = "{$key}={$val}";
}
$charstring = implode( '\_1',$array );

Might be overkill but makes it so it will work even if the layout of the string changes.

YEA that was nice doc but wat about other elements of the exploded body ...!! i just need to change wat ever is after skill = till \_1

pls guide me sorry for being such a noob new to php and i am developing a mmorpg but finding hard with this php thing :(

[somedude3488]

What I just wrote changes SKILL and then writes it back into its original form. Did you try the code?
