Answer 1

This should do the trick:

$tmp = explode( '|', $str );
$data = array();
foreach ( $tmp as $k => $v )
{
 $data[] = explode( ',', $v );
}

explode() is your friend.

Answer 2

$str = '01,03,02,15|05,04,06,10|07,09,08,11|12,14,13,16';
$arr = array_map(function($val) { return explode(',',$val); },explode('|',$str));
var_dump($arr);

PHP>= 5.3.0

Answer 3

Here's a quickie option, which requires PHP 5.3.0 or above (that you should be using anyway).

$string = '01,03,02,15|05,04,06,10|07,09,08,11|12,14,13,16';
$array = array_map('str_getcsv', explode('|', $string));

Answer 4

$arr1 = explode("|",$yourString);
$arr2 = array();
for ($i=0;$i<count($arr1);$i++)
 $arr2[] = explode(",",$arr1[i]);

Answer 5

$str = "01,03,02,15|05,04,06,10|07,09,08,11|12,14,13,16 ";
$array = explode('|', $str);
$final_array = array();
foreach($array as $val)
{
 array_push($final_array, explode(',', $val));
}
