In php, a string can be converted into an array. PHP has a predefined function explode, which breaks string text into array.
String to Array Conversion
To convert a string into array lets use php function “Explode”
Syntax
explode(seperator, string);
Note: While converting a string into an Array by using explode php function, keep one important point always in your mind and that is, the separator plays an important role. In this example, I have used space as the separator. And if you have a string whose words are separated by comma, then use comma as separator.
Example
<?php
$fruitNameString=”apple, orange, grape, guava, mango”;
$fruitNames=explode(“, “,$fruitNameString); //explode function converted the string into an array
//lets print
foreach($fruitNames as $fruitName){
echo $fruitName.'<br/>’; //echo each fruitname into next line
}
?>
output
apple
orange
grape
guava
mango
