In PHP, the `explode()` function is used to split a string into a series of tokens (substrings extracted from the original string) based on a particular delimiter. In other words, the `explode()` function converts a string into an array.

# Syntax

```C#
explode(separator, string, limit)
```

* **`separator`**: Specifies the token where the string needs to split.

* **`string`**: The string that needs to split. 

* **`limit`**: An optional parameter that specifies the number of array elements that should be returned. 

# Code 1
The following code runs the `explode()` function without the limit parameter.


<?php
$str = "Hello world. This is educative";
print_r (explode(" ", $str));
?>

# Code 2
The following code runs the `explode()` function with the limit parameter.


<?php
$str = "Hello,world,This,is,educative";
print_r(explode(',',$str,2));
?>
