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 separator.
If limit is set, the returned array will
contain a maximum of limit elements with
the last element containing the rest of
string.
If separator is an empty string (""),
explode() will return FALSE. If
separator contains a value that is not contained
in string, then explode() will
return an array containing string.
Note:
The limit parameter was added in PHP
4.0.1
Example 1. explode() examples $pizza = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6";
$pieces = explode(" ", $pizza);
$data = "foo:*:1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh";
list($user,$pass,$uid,$gid,$gecos,$home,$shell) = explode(":",$data); |

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.
