exploding strings

[tefnut]

I have a variable that contains numbers, separated by commas, such as:
, 165, 238, 6, 5555, 44,

It can, of course, easily be cleaned up to:
165, 238, 6, 5555, 44

But I need to go through this string as an array. Is there any PHP function to explode this string into a nice array? My current altenative, that I can see at least, is to use string functions to find the positions of the commas, and then extracting the numbers based on that. Seems ugly and slow though.

RTFM! You've even got the word right [man]explode()[/man] Do you feel silly? 😉

:o I didn't even dare hope it existed.

This is the coolest threat I've ever seen here 🙂
