[SOLVED] Splitting a string into a bulleted list...

[ShootingBlanks]

Hello.  I have a long string of text.  Throughout the string, there is the string of characters "&&&&" (four ampersands).  Whenever that "&&&&" shows up, I'd like to split the string, and put each split into a list...

 

...so, if the string were:

 

Item 1&&&&Item 2&&&&Item 3

 

Then I'd want to create this:

 

<ul>
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
  <li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

 

Can anyone help me with the code to do that???  Thanks!

Try something like this:

<?php
$str = 'Item 1&&&&Item 2&&&&Item 3';
echo '<ul><li>' . implode('</li><li>',explode('&&&&',$str)) . '</li></ul>';
?>

// the string
$string = "Item 1&&&&Item 2&&&&Item 3";

// put in arrays
$split = explode("&&&",$string);

// start
echo "<ul>"; 

for ($i=0; $i<count($split);$i++) // for each item
{
// echo it
echo "<li>".$split[$i]."</li>"; 
}

//end
echo "</ul>";

Wes1890, your code does exactly the same as kenrbnsn's, your's is just allot more code, and pointless.

Don't reinvent the wheel. (;
