Pretty obvious, but be careful if the seperator is in front of the string you want to explode. $array[0] will be "" and the different parts will only start at $array[1] Example: $string = "-first-second-third"; $array = explode("-",$string); Gives this: $array[0] => "" $array[1] => "first" $array[2] => "second" $array[3] => "third" Either start using your array at position 1, either trim your string beforehand.
