split string

[anujgarg]

I have a string looks like:

123, 234: 333, 444: 555, 666: 111, 222

 

I want to separate this string from each colon, like:

123, 234

333, 444

555, 666

111, 222

 

I could use split for the same purpose, but this string can have multiple colons ( as this is being generated dynamically. For this, I have to count total number of colons ( first, then to split.

How can I do this? Or there is any other method to do it?

 

TIA

You can use explode to do this:

<?phph
$your_string="123, 234: 333, 444: 555, 666: 111, 222";
$explodede_array=explode(",", $your_string);
//$explodede_array[0] will hold 123.
//$explodede_array[1] will hold 234:333.
.
.
.
etc
