Seperating commas into an array?

[jj20051]

I was wondering how you would go about separating words with commas between them into an array. In this case I want users to be able to message multiple other users by entering their names in the following format: user1, user2, user3, user4 and then have php separate those into an array so I can then run them through a foreach(); so they can be sent to the correct users...

 

Any help or functions I should look into would be great... code not necessary, just point me in the right direction thanks!

use the php explode() function

[codefossa]

// String of Users
$string = 'user1, user2, user3';

// Split String
$users = explode(', ', $string);

// Display Array of Users
echo '<pre>', print_r($users), '</pre>';

Or incase you do not include a space with each entry

$string= 'user1, user2, user3, user4';
$users = array_map('trim',explode(',',$string));
