explode() on Japanese string

Question

I have to use the explode() function on Japanese text but it doesn\'t work.

Here is an example of what I have

$string = \'私　は　イタリア　人　です\';
$string = expl         


        

Answer 1

You're using the wrong space. The text uses full-width spaces (U+3000 IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE) and you're supplying a half-width space (U+0020 SPACE).
