explode()

explode() — Split a string by a string.

explode() — Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string separator.

Inputs: separator: 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.

Returns: Returns an array of strings created by splitting the string parameter on boundaries formed by the separator. If separator is an empty string (“”), explode throws a ValueError. If separator 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.
