I have a long string consisting of a series of sentences separated by a single quote.
Example:
This\'s sentence number 1'This\'s sentence number 2'
Notice that the string has single quotes part of the sentence itself which are escaped. I need to explode the string using single quote, but not the escaped single quote.
The output should be:
Array{
[0]=>This\'s sentence number 1
[1]=>This\'s sentence number 2
}
Basically I need to explode the string on { ' }, but not { \' }. Thanks in advance.

explode() is a built in function in PHP used to split a string in different strings. The explode() function splits a string based on a string delimiter, i.e. it splits the string wherever the delimiter character occurs. This functions returns an array containing the strings formed by splitting the original string.
How Preg_match () and Preg_split () function works *? preg_match – This function is used to match against a pattern in a string. It returns true if a match is found and false if no match is found. preg_split – This function is used to match against a pattern in a string and then splits the results into a numeric array.
The explode() function breaks a string into an array. Note: The "separator" parameter cannot be an empty string.
The preg_match() function will tell you whether a string contains matches of a pattern.
Try this:
print_r(preg_split("/(?<!\\\)\'/", "This\'s sentence number 1'This\'s sentence number 2'"));
