What alternative PHP function can be used instead of split() to split a string into an array?

The split() function has been deprecated in PHP and should no longer be used. Instead, you can use the explode() function to split a string into an array based on a specified delimiter. This function is more commonly used and is the recommended alternative to split().

$string = "Hello,World,How,Are,You";
$array = explode(",", $string);
print_r($array);
