======explode====== WMPRO, WMMINI FW >= 1.0 WMMEGA FW >= 2.0 Turn a string into an array ====Description==== array explode ( string $value, string $delimiter ) Turn a string into an array by separating out the elements as bounded by a delimiter character ====Parameters==== $value: String to be separated into elements in the array $delimiter: Character to use for separation ====Return Values==== Array of elements ====Example====

The above example will output:


[$myarray] = Array (
(string) [0] => one
(string) [1] => two
(string) [2] => three
(string) [3] => four
) 
?>

Note that if only one element is present (without the separator character) then a value of -1 will be returned. This differs from the PHP implementation.

====See Also==== [[implode()]] - Turn an array into a string [[print_r()]] - Dump the contents of an array to the current output [[sizeof()]] - Return the number of elements in an array [[uphp:variables|uPHP Variable Types and Limits]] ====Additional Information==== Note that there is an important difference in the parameter order between mainline PHP and Wattmon uPHP. In the mainline PHP function the delimiter comes first, but in uPHP the string to be exploded comes first: PHP ''explode(delimiter,string)'' uPHP ''explode(string,delimiter)'' Wattmon uPHP's parameter order is easier to remember and more consistent: The delimiter parameter comes last in both [[explode()]] and [[implode()]].
