[gaza165]

I am retrieving a string from my database in this form

thats how they are put into the database..

 

when i bring them back from the database, i wish to sepearate these words into different strings.

 

ie

etc

 

It should be really simple but i cant think of the code for it!! any ideas will be so good!!

Use explode to split the string into several array elements:

<?php
$string = "first, second, thid, fourth, fifth";
$array = explode(", ", $string);
?>
