Split a comma-delimited string into an array?

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

Is there a way to explode a comma-separated string into a flat, indexed array?

Input:

9,[email protected],8

Output:

['9', 'admin@example', '8']
Solution

  • Community warning: If that string comes from a csv file, use of str_getcsv() instead is strictly advised, as suggested in this answer

    Try explode:

    $myString = "9,[email protected],8";
$myArray = explode(',', $myString);
print_r($myArray);

    Output :

    Array
(
    [0] => 9
    [1] => [email protected]
    [2] => 8
)
