I want to explode a variable in a little different way

Question

I have this variable.

$var = \"A,B,C,D,\'1,2,3,4,5,6\',E,F\";

I want to explode it so that I get the following array.

array(
[0         


        

Answer 1

$var = "A,B,C,D,'1,2,3,4,5,6',E,F";

$arr = preg_split("/(,)(?=(?:[^']|'[^']*')*$)/",$var);
foreach ($arr as $data) {
    $requiredData[] = str_replace("'","",$data);
}
echo '
';
print_r($requiredData);


Description :
Regular Exp. :-

(?<=').*(?=') => Used to get all characters within single quotes(' '),

|\w+ |(OR) => Used to get rest of characters excepted comma(,) 


Then Within foreach loop i'm replacing single quote
