In PHP, how do I split strings with built-in functions?

In PHP, you can use several built-in functions to split strings. The most commonly used functions are explode() and preg_split().

Example


        <?php
        // Example using explode
        $string = "apple,orange,banana";
        $fruits = explode(",", $string);
        print_r($fruits);

        // Example using preg_split
        $string2 = "apple orange banana";
        $fruits2 = preg_split("/\s+/", $string2);
        print_r($fruits2);
        ?>
