Error using explod : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$lines' (T_VARIABLE)

I want to extract content of a text file (3 lines) in an array, then explode this array by "," delimiter, then explode each value by ":" delimiter.

For the first line it works, not for the second... Don't know why.

Content of the file:

1:a,2:b,3:c
10:a,5:b,4:c
8:c,9:a,3:b

$lines = file('test.txt');

$top_table = explode(",", $lines[0]);
foreach ($top_table as $key => $str)
{
$top_table[$key] = explode(":", $str);
}

$top_splits = explode("," $lines[1]);
foreach ($top_splits as $key => $str)
{
$top_splits[$key] = explode(":", $str);
}

This line : $top_splits = explode("," $lines[1]); is throwing the error. If I print $lines[1], it works so I don't know why first explode on $lines[0] then first foreach work well, but not the second one.

    The cause of this error is that you forgot the comma separator for the parameters in the call of explode function (line 10) ;) – Marcelino Feb 07 '19 at 15:47
  • Omg! I have been searching and comparing my code for 30min without seeing this.... Thank you! – tonio94 Feb 07 '19 at 15:53
