How can I split a comma delimited string into an array in PHP?

Question

I need to split my string input into an array at the commas.

How can I go about accomplishing this?

Input:

9,[email protected],8

Answer 1

Try explode

$myArray = explode(',', $myString);

Answer 2

$arr= split (",",$mystring);

http://php.net/split

Answer 3

$string = '9,[email protected],8';
$array = explode(',', $string);

For more complicated situations, you may need to use preg_split.

Answer 4

If that string comes from a csv file, I would use fgetcsv() (or str_getcsv() if you have PHP V5.3). That will allow you to parse quoted values correctly. If it is not a csv, explode() should be the best choice.
