php get result of file_get_contents as array

Question

i'm trying to receive a response from an url as :

$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/api/test');

it simply returns some informations separated by | example :

info1|info2|info3

i want to get that result as an array

something like $result = array(file_get_contents('http://example.com/api/test'));

I just got involved in php stuffs excuse me for any confusing terms !

Take that string and use explode() to turn it into an array. Here is a link: php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php — Evan Carslake

You can use explode() to separate the data by pipe.

$result = explode('|',file_get_contents('http://example.com/api/test'))
