Hi all,

I'm sure there is a simple solution to my problem, but I'm kinda limited for time, so I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips.

I have a string: a,b,c,d,e

Using PHP...What is the easiest way to quickly parse the string and break the values into an array, so that:
myarray[1] = 'a'
myarray[2] = 'b'
myarray[3] = 'c'
myarray[4] = 'd'
myarray[5] = 'e'

Thanks in advance.

-Ben

Use the 'explode()' function. i.e:
[php]$mystring = "a,b,c,d,e";
$myarray = explode(",", $mystring);[/php]

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php for more info.

Pedantic note:

PHP (like many languages) starts numbering its arrays at 0, so your first item would be myarray[0].

Just thought I would mention that before you trip over it.
