Is it considered best practice to split a string into an array using explode before passing it as parameters to a PHP function?

When passing a string as parameters to a PHP function, it is not necessary to split the string into an array using explode. PHP functions can accept strings directly as parameters. However, if the function expects an array and you have a string that needs to be split into an array, then using explode can be a suitable approach. 

// Example of passing a string directly to a PHP function
$string = "Hello World";
echo strlen($string); // Output: 11

// Example of splitting a string into an array before passing it as parameters
$string = "apple,banana,orange";
$fruits = explode(",", $string);
print_r($fruits); // Output: Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => orange )
