How can PHP be used to parse simple text input like coordinates?

To parse simple text input like coordinates in PHP, you can use the explode function to split the input string into an array based on a delimiter, such as a comma or space. You can then access the individual coordinates by indexing the array elements. Finally, you can perform any necessary validation or processing on the coordinates as needed. 

$input = "10.123, 20.456";
$coordinates = explode(", ", $input);

$latitude = floatval($coordinates[0]);
$longitude = floatval($coordinates[1]);

echo "Latitude: $latitude, Longitude: $longitude";
