The explode() function breaks a string into an array. Note: The "separator" parameter cannot be an empty string. Note: This function is binary-safe.
Both the functions are used to Split a string. However, Split is used to split a string using a regular expression. On the other hand, Explode is used to split a string using another string.
1) Convert String to Array using explode()explode() method is one of the built-in function in PHP which can be used to convert string to array. The explode() function splits a string based on the given delimiter. A delimiter acts as a separater and the method splits the string where the delimiter exists.
Summary. Use the Python String split() method to split a string into a list of substrings. Use the sep argument to specify where the split should occur. Use the maxsplit argument to limit the number of splits.
Choose one you need:
>>> s = "Rajasekar SP def"
>>> s.split(' ')
['Rajasekar', 'SP', '', 'def']
>>> s.split()
['Rajasekar', 'SP', 'def']
>>> s.partition(' ')
('Rajasekar', ' ', 'SP def')
str.split and str.partition
The alternative for explode in php is split.
The first parameter is the delimiter, the second parameter the maximum number splits. The parts are returned without the delimiter present (except possibly the last part). When the delimiter is None, all whitespace is matched. This is the default.
>>> "Rajasekar SP".split()
['Rajasekar', 'SP']
>>> "Rajasekar SP".split('a',2)
['R','j','sekar SP']
