How to get two parameters from a string?

Question

PHP

I get post data in the form of title-desc-2013-04-28
How to pull out the title and desc?

If I do this, I get only the title
$title = trim(strstr($_POST['title'], '-', true));

Answer 1

$_POST['title'] = 'title-desc-2013-04-28';
$array = explode('-', $_POST['title']);
$title = $array[0];
$desc = $array[1];

var_dump($title); // title
var_dump($desc); // desc

If the php version is fresh, you can do this:
[$title, $desc] = $array;
