Getting variables from a string

Hey, I'm new to php and such, so i'm gonna probobly ask a really dumb and easy question.

If i have a string that looks like this:

"45, 123, 2, 5, 54, 234, 6"

how can i extract the numbers so each one is a seperate variable?

so say if i wanted to retrieve 123 and have that as a seperate variable value, is that possible?

Thanks

Yous the php function explode

in your case it would be something like

$result = explode(", ", $string);
echo $result[1] // would echo 45 to the screen
echo $result[2] // would echo 123 to the screen
....

so on and so forth..

here is the php manual referance for the php function explode : http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php

Hope that helps

thanks dude, you're a legend!
