MATLAB: Array of symbolic variables which are function of time

symbolic arraysyms

    p = sym('p', [m 1]);
the above code gives me an array of symbolic variables, where m is the size of the matrix. However i want to create an array of symbolic variables which are function of time i.e. p1(t),p2(t),…. .

There is no facility to do this. You will need to loop (or equivalent). For example in R2017b or later,
p = arrayfun(@(N) str2sym(sprintf('p%d(t)',N)), 1:5).'
