PHP: explode with array delimiter

Question

I have the string $content with an big and aleatory text. I want to explode $content and the delimiter was the first occourcence of any value in the array $array_explode. Could anyone help me?

Something like that:

$content="...";
$array_explode = array("<br>", "<p>", "<h2>", "<h1>", "<h3>");
$content_explode = explode($array_explode, $content);

I think you'd be better off using the DOM functions for this. They are specifically designed for XML / HTML markup. — Devon Bessemer, Jul 07 '16 at 20:22
