How can I split a delimited string into an array in PHP?

Question

I need to split my string input into an array at the commas.

How can I go about accomplishing this?

Input:

9,admin@example.com,8

Answer 1

If that string comes from a csv file, I would use fgetcsv() (or str_getcsv() if you have PHP V5.3). That will allow you to parse quoted values correctly. If it is not a csv, explode() should be the best choice.
