[Resolved] Seperating by spaces

[mberman]

I have a script fetching data from a MySQL database in this form:

 18 23 42 53 32 44 76

This data all comes from one "cell". These numbers, seperated by spaces, represent id numbers of basketball players, whose stats are managed by my script. What I want to be able to do is to take each of the numbers and put them into a single array e.g.

$playersInGame = array('18', '23', '42', '53', '32', '44', '76');

What I don't know how to seperate the numbers out from eachother (by looking for the spaces).

Any ideas?

$string = '18 23 42 53 32 44 76';
$array = explode(' ', $string);

Yes, I do realize that the database design is not optimal. But, given the fact that I only have one database to work with, this is the way it needed to happen - it's only a small part of the display of the game details anyways.

But yes, thanks a lot for your help, guys! I'm giving them a try right now.

Ah, bingo. I gave devinemike's solution a try and it worked right off the bat. Thanks!
