[Resolved] Simple problem with array()

[rob76]

Hi,

I'm trying to put a comma separated list from a mysql record into an array.

The problem comes down to this.

Instead of:

$array=array(a,b,c,d);

I need:

$result="a,b,c,d";

$array=array($result);

However, this returns a single element "a,b,c,d" and not a[0] is 'a', a[1] is b etc.

Could anyone explain why this and if there is another way to do this?

Thanks
Rob

[man]explode[/man] is what you need.

$result="a,b,c,d";
$array = explode(",", $result);
print_r($array);
// Outputs:  Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2] => c [3] => d )
