I want to split string which contains braces e.g.
string = "some-thing_text,text in rounded brackets(word first,word second),Text in curly brackets{some-text(some one,some two),some another},Text in square brackets[some text,some another{some like this(this1,this2)}]"
and output will be :
Array
(
[0] => some-thing_text
[1] => text in rounded brackets(word first,word second)
[2] => Text in curly brackets{some-text(some one,some two),some another}
[3] => Text in square brackets[some text,some another{some like this(this1,this2)}]
)
You may try this,
preg_split('~(?:\[.*?\]|\(.*?\)|\{.*?\})(*SKIP)(*F)|,~', $str);
(?:\[.*?\]|\(.*?\)|\{.*?\}) matches all the bracketed blocks.(*SKIP)(*F) makes the previous match to fail., Now it matches comma from the remaining string.preg_split('~,(?![^{]*}|[^(]*\)|[^\[]*\])~', $string)
