[SOLVED] PHP explode from MySQLi

[PHPfolife]

Hello,

 

I am trying to explode with php the field from the DB but every time i try to I just get the text Array.

 

$q = "SELECT id,name FROM kb_names WHERE id = '$catId'";
$r = $mysqli->query($q);
$row = $r->fetch_object();
echo $row->name;

 

This echoes out one,two,three. Now when i try to explode the comma from that, I did this:

 

$links = $row->links;
echo $links;
$pieces = explode(",", $links);
echo $pieces;

 

But then this part just displays Array. I don't know why and I have searched and I am getting nothing.

 

Any idea? 

 

Thanks in advanced

you can't echo arrays, you need to use print_r()

[khr2003]

since you exploded the $links it becomes an array, and the way to read is like $pieces[0], $pieces[1] ,$pieces[2] and so on just link another array.

 

If you want to print an array use print_r() function

Thank you very much Mark Baker and khr2003 got it solved
