You can do achieve what you want to this way:

$a = "A1|A2|A3|"; 
$a = rtrim($a, '|'); // Trimming the final |
$exploded = explode("|", $a); // Extracting the values from string.
var_dump($exploded);

Hope it answers your question. Refer rtrim and explode on official documentation site for more relevant details.

Use explode function.

$a = rtrim("|", $a);
$a = explode('|', $a);
print_r($a);

First, trim off the pipe at the end of your input.

$str = rtrim($a, '|');

Then, explode on the pipe.

$a = explode('|', $str);

Alternatively, do the split normally and then filter out the whitespace entries as a post-processing step.

$a = array_filter($a, 'strlen');
