提取某些字符串格式

I am not good in preg thingy but i found out a function called preg_split.

Let's said i have a string : "word1<>word2<>word3<>word4"

I want to split the the string and extract word 1 to word 4 without the <>

How do i do that in preg?

my code :

$extractedWord = preg_split(<pattern>,"word1<>word2<>word3<>word4");

If your trying to use preg_split() instead of explode() or other php function that has same results function

$extractedWord = "word1<>word2<>word3<>word4"; // values to be splitted on "<>"
$result = preg_split("/<>/",$extractedWord); // execute function to split
print_r($result);

Generated Output would be :

Array
(
    [0] => word1
    [1] => word2
    [2] => word3
    [3] => word4
)

$mystring="word1<>word2<>word3<>word4";
print_r(explode('<>',$mystring));

Regexes are for regular expressions, not static strings:

$extractedWords = explode("<>",$inputString);
