Can you explode a string by singlequotes?

yes, but you'll have to take care of slashes where appropriate.  assuming the single quotes have NOT been escaped in the string:

 

$pieces = explode('\'', $string);
$pieces = explode("'", $string);

 

otherwise, you'll have to take into account that backslash that will inevitably precede it if it's been escaped:

 

$pieces = explode('\\\'', $string);
$pieces = explode("\\'", $string);

 

in both cases we use two blackslashes, as we must escape the literal backslash such that PHP doesn't think you're trying to use it as an escaping backslash.  fun sentence, no?
