Question about an array

I want to create an array with some text. Let's say the following:

$sometext = array(explode(" ", "Objective: Position as a Machine Attendant
and or Operator Summary - Over 16 years experience in packaging and
maintenance of various operating machinery. - 13 years experience in cutting
steel and operating a steel press. - Part time experience in packaging and
shipping bread for a bakery."));

I can easily return that text using:

print_r($sometext);

However I want loop through that text for to bold certain words in the
array. In any event I've tried using the following but it only returns
"sometext at[0] is: [Array]" which is not want I want, I want it to show me
each word in the array through the loop. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

$arrayLength = count($sometext);

for ($i = 0; $i < $arrayLength; $i++){
echo "sometext at[" . $i . "] is: [" .$sometext[$i] . "]<br>\n";
}

Thanks

Is it possible to pipe email directly to PHP like it's possible to do
with perl? I need to do this using Exim which I'm also unfamiliar with
so if anyone has done this I'd appreciate knowing how! :)

Thanks

If you're going to build your array that way, then you need to loop through
$sometext[0], not $sometext. You're creating an array in the first element
of the $sometext array, so $sometext element zero is an array containing
your exploded words.

Instead, try:

$sometext = explode(" ", "your long string");

You have started a new thread by taking an existing message and replying to
it while merely changing the Subject: line.

That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients
to which posting(s) your posting refers. A mail client uses this information
to build a "thread tree" of the postings so that it is easy to see just how
they relate to each other.

With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your
posting shows up within an existing thread even though it is completely
unrelated.

Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. That means that
you do not select any sort of "Reply" when you start your message. You can
save the list address in your address book (or equivalent) for convenience.

It's the same thing as for piping email to anything. I don't know exim
from anything else, but I'd use the .forward file no matter what MTA is
installed.
