Gee -

Too bad you didn't cut/paste your code for "explode()", or explain exactly *how* it "didn't work"...
... but you should find the answer to your question on this page:

its displaying the output like this for explode() function
string[0]=My text1
My text2
My text2
like everything is getting stored in array[0] only

Try explode with '\r'
