explode function in custom function

Question

I am trying to create custom function for Main Nav menu where I can only write menu item name and it will automatically wrap with

my content

Also I want variable where I can define url for each menu item.

below is my code and giving me Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

function the_main_nav($navlinks){
        echo '<nav>';
        echo '<ul>';

        $menuitem = $navlinks;
        $pieces = explode("," $menuitem);
        echo $pieces[0];
        echo $pieces[1];

        echo $menuitem;         
        echo '</ul>';
        return $pieces;
    }

------------------[Modified code]----------------------

function the_main_nav($navlinks){
echo '<nav>';
echo '<ul>';

$menuitem = $navlinks;
$pieces = explode(" ",$menuitem);
echo '<li>';
    echo $pieces[0];
    echo '</li>';
echo '<li>';
    echo $pieces[1];
    echo '</li>';

echo '</ul>';
    echo '</nav>';      
}

Now I want to make it dynamic like instead of getting value from [0] [1]..so on i want it will automatic generate as per the input character and create list with li

explode("," $menuitem) ==> explode(",", $menuitem)

You are missing the ,. You have to separate the argument of explode using comma.

$pieces = explode(",", $menuitem);

The explode() function breaks a string into an array. explode(separator, string) so in your code comma is missing.
