How can a beginner efficiently use the explode() function in PHP to separate data?

When working with data that is delimited by a specific character (such as a comma or space), the explode() function in PHP can be used to efficiently separate the data into an array. To use explode(), simply pass in the delimiter character as the first argument and the data string as the second argument. This will return an array of the separated data elements. 

$data = "apple,banana,orange";
$fruits = explode(",", $data);

print_r($fruits);
