Convert comma separated string into array

Question

I have a comma separated string, which consists of a list of tags and want to convert it to array to get a link for every tag.

Example:

$string = \'h         


        

Answer 1

The workaround(!) would be to remove the unwanted trailing characters afterwards:

$tagss = rtrim($tagss, ", ");

This rtrim removes any mix of spaces and commas from the right end of the string.

Btw, you could use str_getcsv instead of explode, which also handles input spaces better.
