How do I concatenate 2 or more string variables to 1 and then again split the 1 string variable into 2 or more?

the manual is always a good place to start: PHP string functions -
Quite simple. Concentrating strings is easy as smushing them together. As far as splitting them, you can use many options. Here's some examples:
[code=php]
<?php
// First off, we smush $foo and $bar together using a . between them:
$foo = "Hello";
$bar = "World!";
$foobar = $foo.$bar; // Returns: HelloWorld;
$spacebar = $foo.' '.$bar; // Returns: Hello World! (With a space)
$dashbar = $foo.'-'.$bar; // Returns: Hello-World!
// And we can go on forever... Moving on
// Now, we can separate strings by a delimiter using explode();
$foobar = "Hello World!";
list($foo, $bar) = explode(" ", $foobar);
// $foo is now "Hello" and $bar is now "World!"
// Though, explode() will separate every space ever, and since our list doesn't have enough strings to hold it, stuff will vanish. You can also separate by substr();
$foobar = "Hello World!";
$foo = substr($foobar, 0, 5); // Sets $foo equal to the first five characters, starting on character 0 and ending on 5.
$bar = substr($foobar, 6, 12); // And sets $bar equal to characters 6 through 12, making it "World!"
[/code]
And these are only a few ways to split up strings. I also suggest browsing php.net for the string functions. Also, if you can post specifically what you would like to do, I'm sure there's a method that'll work nicely.Comment
