Split string into words in php

I want to split string which contains braces e.g. 

string = "some-thing_text,text in rounded brackets(word first,word second),Text in curly brackets{some-text(some one,some two),some another},Text in square brackets[some text,some another{some like this(this1,this2)}]"

and output will be :

Array
(
    [0] => some-thing_text
    [1] => text in rounded brackets(word first,word second)
    [2] => Text in curly brackets{some-text(some one,some two),some another}
    [3] => Text in square brackets[some text,some another{some like this(this1,this2)}]
)

You may try this,

preg_split('~(?:\[.*?\]|\(.*?\)|\{.*?\})(*SKIP)(*F)|,~', $str);
  • (?:\[.*?\]|\(.*?\)|\{.*?\}) matches all the bracketed blocks.
  • (*SKIP)(*F) makes the previous match to fail.
  • , Now it matches comma from the remaining string.
