Loop through variable and separate items into unique variables

[defroster]

Hello,

 

If I have this string:

 

$tags="baseball glove face" (this can vary from 1 to 15 different words)

 

how would i loop through and divide these into different

 

$tag1=baseball

$tag2=glove

$tag3=face

.. and so on (if more words)

 

Thanks for help

Better using an array:

 

$tags = "baseball glove face";
$tag = str_word_count($tags, 1);

[defroster]

Thanks I figured it out with your help.

 

$tags=$row['tags'];
$arraytags = str_word_count($tags, 1);
while (list(, $value) = each($arraytags)) {
echo "<a href='search.php?q=".$value."'>".$value."</a> ";
}

Didn't know you wanted to know how to loop. This is shorter:

 

$tags = $row['tags'];
foreach(str_word_count($tags, 1) as $value) {
   echo '<a href="search.php?q="'.$value.'">'.$value.'</a>';
}
