explode function

Good day I would like to know how to explode a list of comma delimited items that viewed through a short code.

e.g. “bp_member_profile_data(‘field=School Needs: Social Welfare’)” outputs “Environmental programmes, Sports development”

I would like to use the explode php function method to split the two by its comma delimiter.

Off the top of my head, it should just be a case of :

$needs = explode( ", ", bp_member_profile_data(‘field=School Needs: Social Welfare’) );

Which should then put an array into $needs like this:
```
Array
(
    [0] => Environmental programmes
    [1] => Sports development
)
```

@petervandoorn almost but bp_member_profile_data() will output. Instead, you’ll need to use a function which returns a value before passing it to explode(). That’ll be bp_get_member_profile_data()
