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

convert your string first using iconv() and then use it on explode. Convert to utf8

$string = explode(" ", iconv('', 'utf-8', $string));
