(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

explode -- Split a string by string

Description

array explode (string separator, string string [, int limit])

Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string delim. If limit is set, the returned array will contaion a maximum of limit elements with the last element containing the whole rest of string.

Note: The limit parameter was added in PHP 4.0.1

Example 1. Explode() example


$pizza = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6"; $pieces = explode (" ", $pizza);       

Note: Although implode() can for historical reasons accept its parameters in either order, explode() cannot. You must ensure that the separator argument comes before the string argument.
