PHP Tutorial 20 - Explode (PHP for beginners) Video Lecture | PHP for beginners - Software Development

hello youtube this is teach me computer
and welcome to tutorial number 20 in the
PHP programming series now in this video
we are going to learn about the explode
function in PHP and what the explode
function will allow us to do is split up
a string into an array of different
strings based on what we want to split
it by so go and create our file first
we'll save this as explode PHP and okay
the first thing we need to do is just
create a simple string variable so we're
going to call this sentence we're going
to make a simple sentence I want to say
I am enjoying the PHP video tutorials
because you all know you are either for
stop there make sure it's a sentence and
we'll save that and what you need to do
next is you're going to declare a new
variable now this is going to be an
array so we're going to call this and
part because it's going to be each part
of the sentence and the way we need we
can explode an array also export a
sentence into an array it's using the
explode function so just type explode
and then what we'll do is have two
brackets and a semicolon to end it so
what we need to type in here are two
parameters first one is going to be what
we want to explode it by in this case
I'm going to type a space so just to
empty a quotation mark empty space in
the quotation mark then we have a comma
and in the second parameter we need to
determine the variable that we want to
split or explode so in this case it is
sentence so just go and go over this
quite briefly sentence is available and
it includes a lot of spaces and then
parts is going to be an array we're
going to explode and actually the equal
sign here we're going to explode this
sentence string by a space so for
example it's going to split all of this
and it will ask you to move this
character here it's going to remove this
and value 0 is I all you want is arm
value 2 is enjoying etc so just end this
we're going to print our which will
print out all the values of the array
and if you visit explode dot php' you
can see that as taken each part of the
sentence between the spaces and it said
I am enjoying the PHP video tutorials so
you know if you want to just split the
we can just change this and we can split
it by capital P and then save it and
refresh this say I'm enjoying the P and
then video tutorials on that's torn up
because we have to capital piece in PHP
so it's basically you remove these and
said ok that's 0 that's 1 and that's 2
and we can also just professor this just
like we were phantom in a race you can
just say echo parts and then part number
one and that should just be H and yes it
is
so that was the short little video
tutorial on exploding function in PHP
it's similar to the split function in
other languages such as Visual Basic it
just splits the variable up into little
pieces by the value that you determine
so just to go over it one more time and
to expose the explode function you type
the keyword explode and then you need to
in bracket and the first parameter will
be the value that you want to split it
by and it could be anything you want and
then after that and the other the next
value will be the actual variable you
want to split so thank you for watching
