Need Unique delimter

Anon

Everyone - I need find a unique delmieter for a list I'm creating via. the explode method:

here's what I have now..
$strSql = explode(",", $strSql);

Which works great to create an array from a comma delmited list, but if one of the values in the list has a comma in it..
The list is then obviously corrupt.

Any ideas?

We've used ## for a few apps and have had no problems.

I was thinking more along the lines of delmiter that the user COULD not enter w/ thier keyboard... I'm sure ## would be sufficient, but isn't there like a character set I can use like chr(6)?

Which I use in cold fusion.. but doesn't seem to work in PHP

The function is the same and works for me.

chr6 is tab, right?

Anyway, just use xml and wrap the string in [!CDATA[[ tags

Why are you using a comma-delimited string in a database in the first place?
