explode the / variable

[maheswaran]

Hi ,

i have the variable $path="root/sample";

i want to explode this variable by /, but while using

explode("/",$path);

i got parse error, how we can do this

I have 2 ideas what can cause it.

1. you don't assign explode into variable, namely array

$path="root/sample";
$dirs = explode( "/", $path);
// $dirs[0] = "root", $dirs[1] = "sample";
 

2. Your separator is a special character, you need to comment it with backslash

$dirs = explode( "\\", $path);

i tried to use your code and it works fine to me.

$path="root/sample";
$dir = explode("/",$path);
echo $dir[0];
echo $dir[1];

@maheswaran
Have you tried using a different separator? instead of using "/" try the other character to test whether the problem is really on your system or just on the codes.
