Answer 3

use explode function. this will solve your problem. structure of explode is like this

array explode ( string $delimiter , string $string [, int $limit ] )

now $delimiter is the boundary string, string $string is the input string. for limit:

If limit is set and positive, the returned array will contain a maximum of limit elements with the last element containing the rest of string.

If the limit parameter is negative, all components except the last -limit are returned.

If the limit parameter is zero, then this is treated as 1.
