explode() function

Hi,

I have some questions on the usage of explode() function.

For example,

querypath refers to URL path

$chunk= explode('/', $this->querypath)
$this-> moduleID = $chunks[2]
$this-> modulepath=
"/" . implode ("/", array_slice($chunk,3))

$this->modulebasepath=
"/" > $chunk[1] "/" . this-> moduleID

(1) when explode the URL, what is the result, the value of $chunk ?

(2) how the explode function works?

Thanks for the help.

The explode() function splits the inserted string to many strings by the inserted value and saves them in an array.

If this->querypath has the value "www.smile.nu/friends/boat/letter" the string will be splitted with "/", explode('/', $this->querypath).

This means that your array $chunk containes following values [www.smile.nu][friends][boat][letter] and $chunks[2] containes the string "boat".
