Question

I have a string that looks like this

$string = 'Name of product | 34';

I want to break it into two new strings that’ll be this:

$productName = 'Name of product';
$productPrice = '34';

What is the best way to do that?

Answer 1

You can do this quite simply using list() and explode():

list($productName, $productPrice) = explode(" | ", $string);

$productName    string(15) "Name of product"
$productPrice   string(2) "34"
