explode — 使用一个字符串分割另一个字符串
$delimiter
, string $string
[, int $limit
] )
此函数返回由字符串组成的数组,每个元素都是
string
的一个子串,它们被字符串
delimiter
作为边界点分割出来。
delimiter
边界上的分隔字符。
string
输入的字符串。
limit
如果设置了
limit
参数并且是正数,则返回的数组包含最多
limit
个元素,而最后那个元素将包含
string
的剩余部分。
如果
limit
参数是负数,则返回除了最后的
-limit
个元素外的所有元素。
如果 limit
是 0,则会被当做 1。
由于历史原因,虽然 implode()
可以接收两种参数顺序,但是
explode() 不行。你必须保证
separator
参数在
string
参数之前才行。
此函数返回由字符串组成的 array ,每个元素都是
string
的一个子串,它们被字符串
delimiter
作为边界点分割出来。
如果 delimiter
为空字符串(""), explode()
将返回 FALSE
。
如果
delimiter
所包含的值在
string
中找不到,并且使用了负数的 limit
,
那么会返回空的 array ,
否则返回包含 string
单个元素的数组。

Example #1 explode() 例子
<?php
// 示例 1
$pizza = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6" ;
$pieces = explode ( " " , $pizza );
echo $pieces [ 0 ]; // piece1
echo $pieces [ 1 ]; // piece2
// 示例 2
$data = "foo:*:1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh" ;
list( $user , $pass , $uid , $gid , $gecos , $home , $shell ) = explode ( ":" , $data );
echo $user ; // foo
echo $pass ; // *
?>
Example #2 explode() return examples
<?php
$input1 = "hello" ;
$input2 = "hello,there" ;
var_dump ( explode ( ',' , $input1 ) );
var_dump ( explode ( ',' , $input2 ) );
?>
以上例程会输出:
array(1) ( [0] => string(5) "hello" ) array(2) ( [0] => string(5) "hello" [1] => string(5) "there" )
Example #3 limit
参数的例子
<?php
$str = 'one|two|three|four' ;
// 正数的 limit
print_r ( explode ( '|' , $str , 2 ));
// 负数的 limit(自 PHP 5.1 起)
print_r ( explode ( '|' , $str , - 1 ));
?>
以上例程会输出:
Array ( [0] => one [1] => two|three|four ) Array ( [0] => one [1] => two [2] => three )
Note: 此函数可安全用于二进制对象。

If you need to split by multiple characters, use preg_split() instead:
$new_string = preg_split("/[&=:]/", $string);
[#2] Marek [2015-09-14 16:13:27]
The default $limit is NULL, but actually passing NULL as the $limit parameter instead of omitting it will yield different results:
<?php
explode('-', 'A-B-C', null); [ 0 => 'A-B-C', ];
explode('-', 'A-B-C'); [ 0 => 'A', 1 => 'B', 2 => 'C', ];
?>
[#3] wado [2014-11-23 02:17:37]
It should be said that when an empty delimiter is passed to explode, the function not only will return false but will also emit a warning.
<?php
var_dump( explode('','asdasd') );

I made this code for some useful filtering texts with lot of gibberish. Example provided:
<?php
$text = "There are;many|variations of:passages of Lorem Ipsum available,but the/majority have\"suffered|alteration in some form,by injected humour,or randomised words which don't look even.slightly:believable./";
$delimiter = array(" ",",",".","'","\"","|","\\","/",";",":");
$replace = str_replace($delimiter, $delimiter[0], $text);
$explode = explode($delimiter[0], $replace);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($explode);
echo '</pre>';
// replaces many symbols in text, then explodes it
?>
This will output the following:
Array
(
[0] => There
[1] => are
[2] => many
[3] => variations
[4] => of
[5] => passages
[6] => of
[7] => Lorem
[8] => Ipsum
[9] => available
[10] => but
[11] => the
[12] => majority
[13] => have
[14] => suffered
[15] => alteration
[16] => in
[17] => some
[18] => form
[19] => by
[20] => injected

[22] => or
[23] => randomised
[24] => words
[25] => which
[26] => don
[27] => t
[28] => look
[29] => even
[30] => slightly
[31] => believable

Note that using explode() on an empty string returns a non-empty array.
So the code:
<?php
print_r(explode("|","");
?>
returns:
Array
(
[0] =>
)
If you need to return an empty array in the case of an empty string, you must call array_diff() after the explode:
<?php
print_r(array_diff(explode("|",""),array("")));
?>
returns:
Array
(
)
This is useful in case your use of MySQL's group_concat() returns an empty string for just some records but you want to convert them all to arrays that actually reflect what group_concat() gave you
[#6] crog at gustavus dot edu [2013-08-01 19:52:55]
Note that while the documentation states the "If limit is set and positive," passing a null-value will still result in triggering the "limit is zero" case (as of PHP 5.4.17).
When passing through values (such as using explode to implement an interface method), you'll need to explicitly check that the limit has been set:
<?php
public function split($string, $delimiter, $limit = null)
{
return isset($limit) ? explode($delimiter, $string, $limit) : explode($delimiter, $string);
}
?>
Failing to check $limit and simply passing through a null-value will return the same value as if $limit were 0 or 1. To clarify, all of the following will return the same value:
<?php
explode($string, $delimiter, null);
explode($string, $delimiter, 0);
explode($string, $delimiter, 1);
?>
[#7] Hayley Watson [2013-03-12 21:13:48]
The comments to use array_filter() without a callback to remove empty strings from explode's results miss the fact that array_filter will remove all elements that, to quote the manual, "are equal to FALSE".
This includes, in particular, the string "0", which is NOT an empty string.
If you really want to filter out empty strings, use the defining feature of the empty string that it is the only string that has a length of 0. So:
<?php
array_filter(explode(':', "1:2::3:0:4"), 'strlen');
?>

I needed a multiexplode which didn't replace my delimiters for 1 other delimiter. Because I couldn't find one in the examples I made one.

Here is my approach to have exploded output with multiple delimiter.
<?php
//$delimiters has to be array
//$string has to be array
function multiexplode ($delimiters,$string) {
$ready = str_replace($delimiters, $delimiters[0], $string);
$launch = explode($delimiters[0], $ready);
return $launch;
}
$text = "here is a sample: this text, and this will be exploded. this also | this one too :)";
$exploded = multiexplode(array(",",".","|",":"),$text);
print_r($exploded);
//And output will be like this:
// Array
// (
// [0] => here is a sample
// [1] => this text
// [2] => and this will be exploded
// [3] => this also
// [4] => this one too
// [5] => )
// )
?>

Explode does not parse a string by delimiters, in the sense that we expect to find tokens between a starting and ending delimiter, but instead splits a string into parts by using a string as the boundary of each part. Once that boundary is discovered the string is split. Whether or not that boundary is proceeded or superseded by any data is irrelevant since the parts are determined at the point a boundary is discovered.
For example:
<?php
var_dump(explode("/","/"));
?>
The reason we have two empty strings here is that a boundary is discovered before any data has been collected from the string. The boundary splits the string into two parts even though those parts are empty.
One way to avoid getting back empty parts (if you don't care for those empty parts) is to use array_filter on the result.
<?php
var_dump(array_filter(explode("/","/")));
?>

Beaware splitting empty strings.
<?php
$str = "";
$res = explode(",", $str);
print_r($res);
?>
If you split an empty string, you get back a one-element array with 0 as the key and an empty string for the value.
Array
(
[0] =>
)
To solve this, just use array_filter() without callback. Quoting manual page "If the callback function is not supplied, array_filter() will remove all the entries of input that are equal to FALSE.".
<?php
$str = "";
$res = array_filter(explode(",", $str));
print_r($res);
?>
Array
(
)

I'm sure you guys get just a bit frustrated at times when you need a fraction of a very simple string and you use "explode()", but then you have to define a whole extra variable. (That is because you need to store a function-returned array in a variable before you can extract a value).
If you're extracting the last half, or third, of a string, there's an easy inline workaround. Check this:
<?php
$mystr = "separated-text";
print(str_replace("-","",strstr("-",$mystr)));
//Returns "text"
?>
If the separator (dash) can be left in, you don't even need the "str_replace()" function.
Lets try this with 3 fractions:
<?php
$mystr = "separated-text-again";
//Comment submission wouldn't let me
// combine this into one statement.
// That's okay, it's more readable.
$split1 = str_replace("-","",strstr("-",$mystr));
print(str_replace("-","",strstr("-",$split1)));
//Returns "again"
?>
Anything more than 3 fractions gets really confusing, in that case you should use "explode()".
Hope this helps!

Sometimes you need to explode a string by different delimiters. In that case you can use this function:
<?php
print_r(explodeX(Array(".","!"," ","?",";"),"This.sentence?contains wrong;characters"));
// Returns:
// Array("This","sentence","contains","wrong","characters")
function explodeX($delimiters,$string)
{
$return_array = Array($string); // The array to return
$d_count = 0;
while (isset($delimiters[$d_count])) // Loop to loop through all delimiters
{
$new_return_array = Array();
foreach($return_array as $el_to_split) // Explode all returned elements by the next delimiter
{
$put_in_new_return_array = explode($delimiters[$d_count],$el_to_split);
foreach($put_in_new_return_array as $substr) // Put all the exploded elements in array to return
{
$new_return_array[] = $substr;
}
}
$return_array = $new_return_array; // Replace the previous return array by the next version
$d_count++;
}
return $return_array; // Return the exploded elements
}

That with all stateful encodings that use bytes between 0x00 and 0x7f for something other than, say, encoding ASCII characters. Including GBK, BIG5, Shift-JIS etc.
explode and other such PHP functions work on bytes, not characters.
What you do is to convert the string to UTF-8 using iconv(), then explode, then go back to GBK.
[#18] gxd305 at gmail dot com [2009-11-16 17:47:31]
when the encoding of $string is 'GBK' and $delimiter is '|' , the return value may be wrong.
for example:
<?php
$result = explode("|", "?????||????");
var_dump($result);
?>
and the result will be:
array (
0 => '????,
1 => '',
2 => '????',
)
bcz "?|" 's GBK is '0x8f7c'. and "|" 's ASCII is '0x7c'.
So, all GBK-encoding characters include '7c' will lead to the error result.

My application was running out of memory (my hosting company limits PHP to 32MB). I have a string containing between 100 and 20000 triplets, separated by a space, with each triplet consisting of three double-precision numbers, separated by commas. Total size of the biggest string, with 20000 triplets, is about 1MB.
The application needs to split the string into triplets, then split the triplet into numbers. In C, this would take up about 480K (20000 times 3 x 8 bytes) for the final array. The intermediate array of strings shouldn't be much bigger than the long string itself (1MB). And I expect some overhead from PHP, say 300% to allow for indexes etc.
Well, PHP5 manages to run out of memory *at the first stage* (exploding the string on the space character). I'm expecting to get an array of 20000 strings, but it needs more than 32MB to store it. Amazing.
The workaround was easy and had the bonus of producing faster code (I compared it on a 10000 triplet string). Since in any case I had to split up the numeric triplets afterwards, I decided to use preg_match_all() on the original string. Despite the fact that the resulting "matches" array contains more data per element than the result of explode() - because it stores the matched triplet, plus its component numbers - it takes up far less memory.
Moral: be careful when using explode() on big strings, as it can also explode your memory usage.
[#20] Jrg Wagner [2009-10-12 14:28:53]
Here is a very concise example for a quote aware explode - substrings in quotes (or another definable enclosure char) are not exploded.
An additional parameter allows to determine whether the enclosure chars should be preserved within the resulting array elements. Please note that as of PHP 5.3 the str_getcsv function offers a built-in way to do this!
<?php
function csv_explode($delim=',', $str, $enclose='"', $preserve=false){
$resArr = array();
$n = 0;
$expEncArr = explode($enclose, $str);
foreach($expEncArr as $EncItem){
if($n++%2){
array_push($resArr, array_pop($resArr) . ($preserve?$enclose:'') . $EncItem.($preserve?$enclose:''));
}else{
$expDelArr = explode($delim, $EncItem);
array_push($resArr, array_pop($resArr) . array_shift($expDelArr));
$resArr = array_merge($resArr, $expDelArr);
}
}
return $resArr;
}
?>

Note to the previous example: we can do the whole string->array conversion using explode() exclusively.

{
if ($element = explode( $delimiter, $string ))

// create parts

{
// key -> value pair or single value
$atom = explode( $kv, $key_value );
if( trim($atom[1]) )
{
$key_arr[trim($atom[0])] = trim($atom[1]);
}
else
{
$key_arr[] = trim($atom[0]);
}
}

{
$key_arr = false;

return $key_arr;

If you are exploding string literals in your code that have a dollar sign ($) in it, be sure to use single-quotes instead of double-quotes, since php will not spare any chance to interpret the variable-friendly characters after the dollar signs as variables, leading to unintended consequences, the most typical being missing characters.
<?php
$doubleAr = explode(" ", "The $quick brown fox");
$singleAr = explode(" ", 'The $quick brown fox');
echo $doubleAr[1]; // prints "";
echo $singleAr[1]; // prints "$quick";
?>
[#24] SR [2009-04-21 07:50:55]
Keep in mind that explode() can return empty elements if the delimiter is immediately repeated twice (or more), as shown by the following example:
<?php
$foo = 'uno dos tres'; // two spaces between "dos" and "tres"
print_r(explode(' ', $foo));
?>
Array
(
[0] => uno
[1] => dos
[2] =>
[3] => tres
)
Needless to say this is definitely not intuitive and must be handled carefully.

Here's a simple script which uses explode() to check to see if an IP address is in an array (can be used as a ban-check, without needing to resort to database storage and queries).

$denied = array(
0 => '^255.255.255.255',
1 => '^255.250',
2 => '^255.255.250'

for ($i = 0 ; $i < sizeof($denied) ; $i++) {
if (sizeof(explode($denied[$i], '^' . $one . '$')) == 2) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
if (denied($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {
header('Location: denied.php');
}

coroa at cosmo-genics dot com mentioned using preg_split() instead of explode() when you have multiple delimiters in your text and don't want your result array cluttered with empty elements. While that certainly works, it means you need to know your way around regular expressions... and, as it turns out, it is slower than its alternative. Specifically, you can cut execution time roughly in half if you use array_filter(explode(...)) instead.
Benchmarks (using 'too many spaces'):
Looped 100000 times:
preg_split: 1.61789011955 seconds
filter-explode: 0.916578054428 seconds
Looped 10000 times:
preg_split: 0.162719011307 seconds
filter-explode: 0.0918920040131 seconds
(The relation is, evidently, pretty linear.)
Note: Adding array_values() to the filter-explode combination, to avoid having those oft-feared 'holes' in your array, doesn't remove the benefit, either. (For scale - the '9' becomes a '11' in the benchmarks above.)
Also note: I haven't tested anything other than the example with spaces - since djogo_curl at yahoo's note seems to imply that explode() might get slow with longer delimiters, I expect this would be the case here, too.
I hope this helps someone. :)
[#27] seventoes at gmail dot com [2006-12-09 19:49:00]
Note that explode, split, and functions like it, can accept more than a single character for the delimiter.
<?php
$string = "Something--next--something else--next--one more";
print_r(explode('--next--',$string));

To split a string containing multiple seperators between elements rather use preg_split than explode:
preg_split ("/\s+/", "Here are to many spaces in between");
which gives you
array ("Here", "are", "to", "many", "spaces", "in", "between");
