explode Split a string by string &reftitle.description; arrayexplode stringdelimiter stringstring intlimit Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string delimiter. &reftitle.parameters; delimiter The boundary string. string The input string. limit If limit is set and positive, the returned array will contain a maximum of limit elements with the last element containing the rest of string. If the limit parameter is negative, all components except the last -limit are returned. If the limit parameter is zero, then this is treated as 1. Although implode can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order, explode cannot. You must ensure that the delimiter argument comes before the string argument. &reftitle.returnvalues; If delimiter is an empty string (""), explode will return &false;. If delimiter contains a value that is not contained in string and a negative limit is used, then an empty array will be returned. For any other limit, an array containing string will be returned. &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 5.1.0 Support for negative limits was added 4.0.1 The limit parameter was added &reftitle.examples; ]]> ]]> &example.outputs; one [1] => two|three|four ) Array ( [0] => one [1] => two [2] => three ) ]]> &reftitle.notes; ¬e.bin-safe; &reftitle.seealso; preg_split str_split str_word_count strtok implode
