Explode by special character ·

Question

I have string like this : Suède · Slovénie

I need to explode it by · i have tried various solutions like :

preg_split("/[?·]/",strip_tags($single->children(2)->outertext))

explode(chr(149), strip_tags($single->children(2)->outertext)); 

explode(utf8_encode('·'),strip_tags($single->children(2)->outertext));

explode('·',strip_tags($single->children(2)->outertext));

But none of solutions works for me! can any one please let me know?

Answer 1

You shall rather use mb_split():

  var_dump(mb_split('·', 'Suède · Slovénie'));

gives

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "Suède "
  [1]=>
  string(10) " Slovénie"
}
