My var_dump displays NULL
Below is my code:
$dareas = rtrim($areas,",");
$areasinarray = explode($dareas);
var_dump($areasinarray);
As far as the $dareas is concerned, it is a string which values are 15,12,14,19
What is wrong with this code?
You only supply the delimiter, not the string itself.
It should be
explode(",", $dareas);
Check out the documentation.
Try this. you were trying to explode without any delimiter
<?php
$areas = "15,12,14,19";
$dareas = rtrim($areas,",");
$areasinarray = explode(',', $dareas);
var_dump($areasinarray);
explode(); requires another parameter - the delimiter. See the manual. In your case that'd be a comma.
explode(',', $dareas);
Also, when developing, set error_reporting to E_ALL. That'll catch mistakes like this.
Do you mean:
$areasinarray = explode(',' ,$dareas);
Explode needs 2 parameters. The first is the delimiter("," in your case) and the second parameter has to be your string($dareas). Check http://be1.php.net/explode for more info.
