What is difference between explode() or split() in PHP?
The explode() and split() functions are used in PHP to split the strings. Both are defined here:
 
Split() is used to split a string into an array using a regular expression whereas explode() is used to split the string by string using the delimiter.
 
Example of split() :
split(":", "this:is:a:split"); //returns an array that contains this, is, a, split.
 
Output : Array ([0] => this,[1] => is,[2] => a,[3] => split)
 
Example of explode() :
explode ("take", "take a explode example "); //returns an array which have value "a explode example"
 
Output : array([0] => "a explode example")
