Separate values in PHP

Question

To pass a group of checked checkbox values from a modal to a parent form, I send them to a hidden field.

This works well and is currently, as an example, returned in the format below

<input type="hidden" value="Mon, Wed, Sat" name="days">

What I need is to get an apostrophe seperated list in an array like this,

$days = array('Mon', 'Wed', 'Sat');   // currently static

from my hidden field here..

$days = Input::get('days'); // days selected in checkboxes

Answer 1

Use explode():

$days = explode(', ', Input::get('days'));

Answer 2

Use explode method()

explode() Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string delimiter.

Refrence

 $string ="Mon, Wed, Sat";
 $strngarray =  explode(',', string );  

In your case

$days = explode(', ', Input::get('days');

Answer 3

The function explode() should do this in php.

$values = 'value1, value2, value3';
$arrayOfValues = explode(', ', $values);
print_r($arrayOfValues);
