Splitting String

[ngreenwood6]

I have a string like this:

 

Something,Somthing Else,"keyword1,keyword2,keyword3",Yet another

 

I need to split that string by the ,. However, I need the data that is n the quotes to remain as one even though it has commas because it is one item. I assume I need to use preg_split and have tried some code but none of it seems to work properly. If anyone has a better method or knows how I can split this up using preg_split the help is appreciated.

There are some functions for handling csv strings.  If you are using php5.3+ you can use str_getcsv.  If not, look at the user notes for that entry, there is an entry that recreates that function for versions before php5.3.  Or if the text is coming from a file, read the file with fgetcsv instead of file_get_contents() or file() or fgets() or however else you are reading the file.

will there be multiple occurrences of the quote encapsulated text within any one string? (ie...

Something,Somthing Else,"keyword1,keyword2,keyword3",Yet another,"keyword4,keyword5,keyword6",Yet another)
