Hello,

Try this

<?php
$a='Madhuri Dixit,Konkona Sen Sharma,Kunal Kapoor,Divya Dutta,Ranvir Shorey,Vinay Pathak,Jugal Hansraj,Yashpal Sharma,Raghuveer Yadav';
$pieces = explode(",", $a);


echo "<pre>";
print_r($pieces);
echo "</pre>";
?>

 

Thanks your solution's is good
but can you tell me what problem in my above code

 

For 9 times (your for loop) you echoed all 9 names. The program was doing exactly what you told it to.

<?php
$a='Madhuri Dixit,Konkona Sen Sharma,Kunal Kapoor,Divya Dutta,Ranvir  Shorey,Vinay Pathak,Jugal Hansraj,Yashpal Sharma,Raghuveer Yadav';
$pieces = explode(",", $a);

echo $pieces[0].'</br>';
echo $pieces[1].'</br>';
echo $pieces[2].'</br>';
echo $pieces[3].'</br>';
echo $pieces[4].'</br>';
echo $pieces[5].'</br>';
echo $pieces[6].'</br>';
echo $pieces[7].'</br>';
echo $pieces[8].'</br>';
echo $pieces[9].'</br>';
  
?>

PHP:

would do what you want. So would

<?php
$a='Madhuri Dixit,Konkona Sen Sharma,Kunal Kapoor,Divya Dutta,Ranvir  Shorey,Vinay Pathak,Jugal Hansraj,Yashpal Sharma,Raghuveer Yadav';
$pieces = explode(",", $a);
$letter_count = count($pieces);

$pieces = explode(",", $a);
 for ($i=1; $i<=$letter_count; $i++)
  {
echo $pieces[$i].'</br>';
  }
?>

PHP:

(Never put code inside a loop if it can run outside the loop. You were counting how many elements there were in $pieces 9 times. Since the count is the same before the loop or inside it, do that outside the loop. It takes the same amount of time to calculate it each time, so you save 8 execution times that way.)

 

Thanks Rukbat for this .... now i am understand
little addition : for ($i=0; $i<=$letter_count; $i++)
