How can the PHP function explode() be used to separate values in a file?

To separate values in a file using the PHP function explode(), you can read the contents of the file into a string variable and then use explode() to split the string based on a delimiter, such as a comma or a tab. This will create an array of values that were separated in the file, allowing you to access and manipulate them individually.

$file_contents = file_get_contents('data.txt');
$values_array = explode("\n", $file_contents);

foreach ($values_array as $value) {
    echo $value . "<br>";
}
