$args[??]???

I have a problem with this. I am making a plugin that uses /hello [player] [message]
I made the message $args[1], but if the message has spaces it treats it as $args[2], $args[3] etc...
How do I fix this?

array_shift($args)

? What does this do?

it remove args[0] and return $args[0]
so you can get reciever using

PHP:

$this->getServer()->getPlayer(array_shift($args));

and message

PHP:

implode(' ', $args);

Really? I just use $this->getServer()->getPlayer($args[0]); I thought this is ok.

Now it is sendMessage() on null. Why? I checked if the player is online or not with

PHP:

if($this->getServer()->getPlayer($args[0])->isOnline())


Use

PHP:

if($args[0] instanceof Player){
//Online
} else{
// Offline
}

// or

$player = $args[0];
if($player = $this->getServer()->getPlayer($args[0]){
// Online
} else{
// Offline
}

I did that... lol. The message part is the problem.

use array_shift() see PHP documentation how it works

Use array_shift($args) and then $args is everything is after the player name (so the message)

No prob. I fixed it and I am going to submit the useless plug... lol

Wat
$args is a string array. How could anything in it be a Player object?

What?

it should be $server->getPlayer($args[0]) instanceof Player. We are already sure that $args[n] must be a string.

array_shift array_slice... I am going nuts.
