problem with array creation

[krappleby025]

hi guys, i wonder if someone can help me..

i have a database text field, with a list of details in it like this

Search, 2, Appraise, 2

This list could be any length. what i need to do. is take this field, and split it into an array.. (simple enough i here you say)

i have tried to set it up as an array. but all i get is

array[0] = "search, 2, appraise, 2"

when what i need to get is

array[0] = "search"
array[1] = "2"
array[2] = "appraise"
array[3] = "2"

i have tried alsorts, any help would be appreciated.. or any documents that i can read to solve this small minute problem

cheers

Use explode to split your string:


$my_string = 'Search,2,Appraise,2';

$my_array = explode(',',$my_string);


result = $my_array[0] = 'search'
$my_array[1] = '2';

etc....
