dynamic array argument

[fxpepper]

hi - i have this code"

function &get_pod_tags( $args = '' ) {
	$tags = array($args);

if ( empty( $tags ) ) {
	$return = array();
	return $return;
}

return $tags;
}

and I want it to return a dynamic array back - but right now i am only getting one item back, even though I have 3 in the tag list.

can anyone assist me with what I am doing wrong?

thanks!

$args is only 1 variable, and you are constructing $tags to be an array with a single element of $args, so it is not true that you "have 3 in the tag list". Perhaps you are trying to do something in which [man]explode/man would come in handy.

still slightly confused by arrays i guess...

but when I called the function, i put in (for example) apple, orange, peach - so I just use the explode to actually create the array? is that right?

$string="apple,orange,peach";
$array=explode(",",$string);
print_r($array);

Array
(
[0] => apple
[1] => orange
[2] => peach
)
