Not too sure about using preg_split but here's a possible regex solution:

PHP Code:


			
function regex_explode($string)

{

    preg_match_all('/

        # Previous character is start of string or a comma

        (?<=^|,)

        #Followed by

        (?:

            # Zero or more non-curly brace characters between curly braces

            {[^{}]*}

            # or 

            |

            # Zero or more non-comma characters

            [^,]*

        )

    /x', $string, $matches);

    

    // preg_match_all('/(?<=^|,)(?:{[^{}]*}|[^,]*)/', $string, $matches);

    

    return current($matches);

}
