Split up a string into 2 variables

[Anon]

Hi!!!

Got a string, containing a name:

Smith, John

I need to put the into

$1="Smith";
$2="John";

How do I do that???

[van__]

all the myriad ways...

for all the string func freaks:
$array = explode(', ',$string);

for manly men:
$array = $preg_split('/,\s+/',$string);

print_r($array);

ermm
take the "$" off the preg_split...
my fingers are hyper tonight.
