preg_replace - creating my own un-numbered list

[tuf-web_co_uk]

hi,

i was woundering if it was possible to take the value returned from using something like [ul]item1,item2,item3,item4[/ul] and put it into an array using explode, so i can output it like this.

• Item1
• Item2
  etc

instead of using the existing un-numbered list

i know how to get the value from within

<?
$code = "[ul]item1,item2,item3,item4[/ul]";
$pattern = '#\[ul](.+?)\[/ul]#';

$replace = "\\1";

$string = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $code);

echo $string;
?>

but i dont know how to get this value into a variable so i could use it in an explode.

any ideas?

<?php

$code = "[ul]item1,item2,item3,item4[/ul]";

$string = preg_replace("#(\[ul\])(.+?)(\[/ul\])#is","<li>\\2</li>", $code);
echo implode("</li><li>",explode(",",$string));

?>

Try that
