How do I turn a string into an array?

Interchange between strings and arrays is very common in PHP even for use on websites and manipulating data to be sent, or sent, from the webpage.

To do this you can use the explode function, like this, passing the delimiter to explode on as the first argument and the string as the second:


<?php

$mystring = "I,love,washing,up";

$myarray = explode(",",$mystring);

print_r($myarray);

?>

Which gives us this:

Array
(
[0] => I
[1] => love
[2] => washing
[3] => up
)
