How to split a text-block into 2 strings, in PHP?

Question

I have a text-block, with this content:

[/+]There is my first text[+/]. There is my second text.

[/+]There is my third text.[+/]
There is my fourth text.

...

Now, I want to split it into 2 strings:

$str_1 = "There is my first text.";
```
$str_2 = " There is my second text.
```

[/+]There is my third text.[+/]

There is my fourth text.

...";

Could you show me: "How to split a text-block into 2 strings, in PHP?".

explode($delimiter, "String");

There are many ways to make that, 1. explode -2times or 3times 2. preg_split- $output = preg_split( '/(\[\/\+\]|\[\+\/\])/', "yout string"); – Ray Nov 21 '15 at 13:10

I'm not sure about your question but I think you might be looking for this

$str = "[/+]There is my first text[+/]. There is my second text.

[/+]There is my third text.[+/]
There is my fourth text.";

preg_match_all('/(\[\/\+])?([\w\s.]+)(\[\+\/])?/',$str,$m);

$str = "";
foreach($m[2] as $k => $v){
  ${"str".$k} = $v;
}

echo $str0."\n";
echo $str1."\n";
echo $str2."\n";
echo $str3."\n";
