jQuery explode string like PHP

So I was looking on some SO questions and the jQuery area to try to use the similar feature in PHP using explode which will just explode a string given into it's pieces from a type of substring.

This is the code I used:

var users = // AJAX CALL TO GET USERS
var usersArr = users.split();

I looked at the w3 tutorial for splitting strings and this was the JavaScript type, and even that didn't work.

Error message:

index.js:45 Uncaught TypeError: users.split is not a function

just like PHP you can do but with different method.

var str = "How are you doing today?"
var res =  str.split(" ");

access this way : "String :" + res[0]+" "+res[1]+" "+res[4]+" "

output : How are today?

Since Ajax is asynchronous, you have to set users variable inside the success callback of the Ajax call and then split the string.

It can be don like this.

$.ajax({
    url: "url-to-the-page",
    success: function(data) {
        var users = data;
        var usersArr = users.split(";"); // if semicolon is the separator.
    }
});
