oikai_explode_tag() – Parse the tag into separate fields

You appear to be a bot. Output may be restricted

Description

Parse the tag into separate fields

The expected format of the tag is: @tagname type name description with white space willy nilly. I'm sure a regex would be perfect for this… One day perhaps. Meanwhile something to improve on the original explode logic which didn't cater for whitespace

Usage

$array = oikai_explode_tag( $tag );

Parameters

$tag

( string ) required – expected format @tagname type name description

Returns

array consisting of tagname, type, name, description
