• PHP - Using The explode() Function

  Posted on April 13th, 2009 admin No comments

  As it says the explode function is like sticking a dynamite on parts of the string to give you different sections of the string. Lets say we have a list of colors in a variable:

  $colors = “blue;yellow;green;orange;white”;

  What would happen if we explode them? They would be separated. It’s best if we make an array for them:

  $colorarray = explode (”;”, $colors);

  As we want to explode the ‘;’ we have to include this in the first part of the function as you can see in the above example. We then include the variable we want to explode after it. After the ‘explosion’ the ‘;’ is basically destroyed leaving the colors separated from each other and subsequently stored in the $colorarray.
