Explode a comma-delimited string into an array without breaking up double quoted substrings

Suppose that I have this string:

var1, var2, var3, "var4, test, test2", var5, "var6", var7

How can I use explode() function to put them into an array like this

Array
(
    [0] => var1
    [1] => var2
    [2] => var3
    [3] => var4, test, test2
    [4] => var4
    [5] => var6
    [6] => var7
)

Use the str_getcsv function:

$array = str_getcsv('var1, var2, var3, "var4, test, test2", var5, "var6", var7');

I think str_getcsv() is the function you are looking for; it should do exactly what you want.
