hi, explode function split a string by string. for example, explode(" and", "india and pakistan and srilanka"); this function will return an array it contanis india,pakistan,srilanka. split function also spliting the string by regular expressions for example, split(" :", "india : pakistan : srilanka"); this function will return an array it contanis india,pakistan,srilanka.

Explode convert string to array.
for exmaple.

Code
<?php


$x="anil,mukesh,neeraj";


if(is_string($x))


{


$y=explode(",",$x);


//"," is an identifier.


print-r $y;


}


?>

split take multiple identifier.
