Shell is shell, awk is awk, they are independent and unrelated. Using ksh has nothing to do with whether you get gsub.
On some systems, especially Solaris, you need to use nawk to get gsub.

EXPLODE(3) 1 EXPLODE(3)
explode - Split a string by string
SYNOPSIS
array explode (string $delimiter, string $string, [int $limit])
DESCRIPTION
Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of $string formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string $delimiter.
PARAMETERS
o $delimiter
- The boundary string.
o $string
- The input string.
o $limit
- If $limit is set and positive, the returned array will contain a maximum of $limit elements with the last element containing the
rest of $string. If the $limit parameter is negative, all components except the last -$limit are returned. If the $limit parame-
ter is zero, then this is treated as 1.
Note
Although implode(3) can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order, explode(3) cannot. You must ensure that the
$delimiter argument comes before the $string argument.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an array of strings created by splitting the $string parameter on boundaries formed by the $delimiter.
If $delimiter is an empty string (""), explode(3) will return FALSE. If $delimiter contains a value that is not contained in $string and a
negative $limit is used, then an empty array will be returned, otherwise an array containing $string will be returned.

EXAMPLES
Example #1
explode(3) examples
<?php
// Example 1
$pizza = "piece1 piece2 piece3 piece4 piece5 piece6";
$pieces = explode(" ", $pizza);
echo $pieces[0]; // piece1
echo $pieces[1]; // piece2
// Example 2
$data = "foo:*:1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh";
list($user, $pass, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $home, $shell) = explode(":", $data);
echo $user; // foo
echo $pass; // *
?>
Example #2
explode(3) return examples
<?php
/*
A string that doesn't contain the delimiter will simply
return a one-length array of the original string.
*/
$input1 = "hello";
$input2 = "hello,there";
var_dump( explode( ',', $input1 ) );
var_dump( explode( ',', $input2 ) );
?>
The above example will output:
array(1)
(
[0] => string(5) "hello"
)
array(2)
(
[0] => string(5) "hello"
[1] => string(5) "there"
)
Example #3
$limit parameter examples
<?php
$str = 'one|two|three|four';
// positive limit
print_r(explode('|', $str, 2));
// negative limit (since PHP 5.1)
print_r(explode('|', $str, -1));
?>
The above example will output:
Array
(
[0] => one
[1] => two|three|four
)
Array
(
[0] => one
[1] => two
[2] => three
)

This function is binary-safe.
