split string

[christa]

Hi all

 

i have some names (imploded by comma):

toronto,paris,madrid

 

Now, i would obtain this result:

'toronto','paris','madrid'

 

How can i do? thanks

$a = "toronto,paris,madrid";

$array = explode(",",$a);

 

will get your 3 values stored in an array named $array

 

so: echo $array[0]; will display:

toronto

 

As for the next bit, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Explode the string into an array and loop through it, modifying the values so that they are wrapped with single quotes.

[johnsmith153]

$a = "toronto,paris,madrid";
$array = explode(",",$a);

$newVal = "";

foreach ($array as $a) {

  if($newVal!="") {
     $newVal .= ",";
  }

  $newVal .= "'".$a."'";

}

echo $newVal;
