Split comma delimeted string using the php explode() function and output results

To split a comma delimited string using PHP we can use the explode() function

The explode() function breaks the string in to an array, which is then assigned to a variable.
We then use a foreach loop to output the results / elements.

<?php
$list="Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora, Linux Mint";
$array = explode(",", $list);

foreach ($array as $value)
{
echo $value."<p></p>";
}
?>


If you wanted to sort the elements in alphabetical order you would use the sort() function
<?php
$list="Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora, Linux Mint";
$array = explode(",", $list);

sort($array);

foreach ($array as $value)
{
echo $value."<p></p>";
}
?>
