explode function

[netfrugal]

I am trying to separate this: mydomain\myname

To do this I am using the explode function as such:

$word = "mydomain\myname";
$separated = explode("\", $word);

echo $separated[0];
echo $separated[1];

However, the backslash does not work. Is there a way to explode backslashes?

$separated = explode("\", $word); //double-slash
