How can I do this? (string problem)

[sgtpepper]

Hi,

I am working with data in a database that is seperated by a comma....

The data is represents rooms in an apartment building. For example this:

1,0,0,5

Means 1 room on the first floor, 0 rooms on second floor, 0 rooms on thrid floor, and 5 rooms on fourth floor.

Now....how can I take the comma string and place it in an array so I can call the specific floors? For example:

$floors[4] would output 5

Thanks for the help...

[man]explode/man the string, but the index would be 0 for the 1st floor.
