Tips

In certain cases where the return value is a string with several sub-strings, use the explode() function to separate values. Examples:

// Get font data values

$sfnt = explode(" ", wb_get_system_info("systemfont"));
$sysfont = wb_create_font($sfnt[0], $sfnt[1], BLACK, constant(strtoupper("FTA_$sfnt[2]"))); 

// Get screen dimensions

$dim = explode(" ", wb_get_system_info("screenarea"));
wb_message_box(null, "Screen dimensions are $dim[2] x $dim[3] pixels.");
