explode
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
explode — Split a string by a string
Description
$delimiter
, string $string
[, int $limit = PHP_INT_MAX
] )
Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of
string formed by splitting it on
boundaries formed by the string delimiter.
Parameters
-
delimiter -
The boundary string.
-
string -
The input string.
-
limit -
If
limitis set and positive, the returned array will contain a maximum oflimitelements with the last element containing the rest ofstring.If the
limitparameter is negative, all components except the last -limitare returned.If the
limitparameter is zero, then this is treated as 1.
Note:
Although implode() can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order, explode() cannot. You must ensure that the
delimiterargument comes before thestringargument.
Return Values
Returns an array of strings
created by splitting the string parameter on
boundaries formed by the delimiter.
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, otherwise an array containing
string will be returned.
Examples
Example #1 explode() examples
<?php
// Example 1
$pizza = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6";
$pieces = explode(" ", $pizza);
echo $pieces[0]; // piece1
echo $pieces[1]; // piece2
// Example 2
$data = "foo:*:1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh";
list($user, $pass, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $home, $shell) = explode(":", $data);
echo $user; // foo
echo $pass; // *
?>
Example #2 explode() return examples
<?php
/*
A string that doesn't contain the delimiter will simply
return a one-length array of the original string.
*/
$input1 = "hello";
$input2 = "hello,there";
$input3 = ',';
var_dump( explode( ',', $input1 ) );
var_dump( explode( ',', $input2 ) );
var_dump( explode( ',', $input3 ) );
?>
The above example will output:
array(1)
(
[0] => string(5) "hello"
)
array(2)
(
[0] => string(5) "hello"
[1] => string(5) "there"
)
array(2)
(
[0] => string(0) ""
[1] => string(0) ""
)
Example #3 limit parameter examples
<?php
$str = 'one|two|three|four';
// positive limit
print_r(explode('|', $str, 2));
// negative limit (since PHP 5.1)
print_r(explode('|', $str, -1));
?>
The above example will output:
Array
(
[0] => one
[1] => two|three|four
)
Array
(
[0] => one
[1] => two
[2] => three
)
