Question

I know “explode” splits the string and turns it into an array for every occurrence. But how do I split on the first occurrence and keep everything after the first occurrence?

Examples:

$split = explode('-', 'orange-yellow-red');
echo $split[1]; // output: "yellow"

^ I would like this to output: yellow-red

$split = explode('-', 'chocolate-vanilla-blueberry-red');
echo $split[1]; // output: "vanilla"

^ I would like this to output: vanilla-blueberry-red

Answer 1

You can pass the limit as the third parameter of explode that will do the job.

$split = explode('-', 'orange-yellow-red',2);
echo $split[1]; //output yellow-red
