You are going to have some problems  what if you have this string   vs   apples  for instance  using this method of sepparating  but if we start by stating that you have thought about that and have fixed all of those possible collisions  you could just replace all occurences of  delimiter 1  to  delimiter n  with  delimiter 0   and then split on that first one

How about this          Like explode with multiple delimiters      Default delimiters are        and          param string  string String that thould be converted to an array      param mixed  delimiters Every single char will be interpreted as an delimiter  If a delimiter with multiple chars is needed  use an Array      return array  If  string is empty OR not a string  return false     public static function multiExplode  string   delimiters                  delimiterArray   is array  delimiters   delimiters str split  delimiters      newRegex   implode      array map  function  delimiter   return preg quote  delimiter           delimiterArray      return is string  string   amp  amp   empty  string    array map  trim   preg split       newRegex        string  -1  PREG SPLIT NO EMPTY     false      In your case you should use an Array for the  delimiters param  Then it is possible to use multiple chars as one delimiter   If you don t care about trailing spaces in your results  you can remove the array map  trim           part in the return row   But don t be a quibbler in this case  Keep the preg split in it    Required PHP Version  5 3 0 or higher   You can test it here

This will work    stringToSplit    This is my String      n r    Second Line    split   explode          implode            explode           n r    stringToSplit                As you can see  it first glues the by  n r exploded parts together with a space  to then cut it apart again  this time taking the spaces with him

You can take the first string  replace all the   with vs using str replace  then explode on vs or vice versa

How about using strtr   to substitute all of your other delimiters with the first one   private function multiExplode  delimiters  string        return explode           delimiters 0           strtr               string              array combine                  array slice      delimiters  1                     array fill                      0                      count  delimiters -1                      array shift  delimiters                                                       It s sort of unreadable  I guess  but I tested it as working over here   One-liners ftw

You can try this solution     It works great  function explodeX   delimiters   string         return explode  chr  1    str replace   delimiters  chr  1     string         list    Thing 1 amp Thing 2 Thing 3 Thing 4     exploded   explodeX  array   amp                 list     echo   lt pre gt    print r  exploded   echo   lt  pre gt      Source   http   www phpdevtips com 2011 07 exploding-a-string-using-multiple-delimiters-using-php

If your delimiter is only characters  you can use strtok  which seems to be more fit here  Note that you must use it with a while loop to achieve the effects
