[SOLVED] youtube like tags ,how?

[secoxxx]

Im sure you have all see the tags on youtube, myspace, and almost every other site out there these days, Where you enter tags separated by commas.

 

my question is.

 

I have a field containing data like so:

 

bob, joe, eric, john, bill, kim, andy, shay

 

all separated with commas.

 

now how in the world do they bring that data to the page, which each name a link, like so

 

bob, joe, eric, john, bill, kim, andy, shay

 

each link being a search type query string on the back end like tag.php?tag=bob, tag.php?tag=joe, tag.php?tag=eric and so on.

 

Any one know what this is called? I am stumped.

Thanks

You can explode it.

 

<?php
$sql = "SELECT tags FROM `videos` WHERE `id`='5'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);

$tags = explode(",", $row['tags']);

foreach($tags AS $tag){
echo "<a href=\"search.php?tag=".trim($tag)."\">".$tag."</a> ";
}
?>
