PHP Explode exclude

I have a string with data like this:

8487613 1298296324 1a6ad892e547da07f35221fdfe6f70dd "|MoDo|" 178.211.28.126 "Battlefield Bad Company 2" "BC Stuff and name" "Violation (AIMBOT) #50246"

In my PHP I use explode like this:

$more_info = explode(' ', $banned_players);

But it separates spaces in "Battlefield Bad Company 2" and I don't want that to happen.

So is there any way for explode with spaces but not开发者_StackOverflow中文版 between "" characters?

Try str_getcsv(). It's intended for tab- or comma-separated values, but it works very well with just the space as separator:

print_r(str_getcsv('8487613 1298296324 1a6ad892e547da07f35221fdfe6f70dd "|MoDo|" 178.211.28.126 "Battlefield Bad Company 2"', " "));

Results in:

Array
(
    [0] => 8487613
    [1] => 1298296324
    [2] => 1a6ad892e547da07f35221fdfe6f70dd
    [3] => |MoDo|
    [4] => 178.211.28.126
    [5] => Battlefield Bad Company 2
    [6] => BC Stuff and name
    [7] => Violation (AIMBOT) #50246
)

Use preg_split instead

Explode the " character, you'll have 3 arrays, then explode first array and last array with space character, and use array_push() and array_merge() to merge them all.

You could use str_getcsv with one whitespace as delimiter.

Note: This only works, if you have only one character delimiters.
