[SOLVED] string separating

[MadDawgX]

Hey there,

 

I have a variable storing a string that contains many strings with in it and are separated with *'s. How can i separate these values and store them in there own respective variables

 

Eg.

 

$var = "1*test1*test2*test3"

 

How can I store the value 1 in $sep1 or test3 in $sep4 ?

[p2grace]

$array = explode("*",$var);
extract($array);

 

OR

 

$array = explode("*",$var);
foreach($array as $value){
$sep [] = $value;
}
