How to Split a Comma Delimited/separated String into an Array in PHP?

Problem:

You have a string consisting of some comma separated sub-strings (see the following). With those sub-strings, you want to form an array.

<?php
$languages = “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday”;
?>

Solution:

You can use explode() function to split the above string separating by comma and create an array. See the following example-

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

<pre> <?php $languages = “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday”; $lan_arr = explode(‘, ’, $languages); print_r($lan_arr); ?> </pre>

Output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Array (       [0] => Sunday       [1] => Monday       [2] => Tuesday       [3] => Wednesday       [4] => Thursday       [5] => Friday       [6] => Saturday )   [wpdm_file id=68]

How it works:The explode() function split the string(second parameter – $language) into smaller pieces separated by the separator defined as the first parameter(, ).
