quick regular expression or explode help

[janu]

hi everyone..

I am storing some data in the form of "7-1,16-2" in one field..

noe I have this in variable

$x = "7-1,16-2";

I only want to the values "1,2" the second ones, something like

$var = "1,2";

and then I shouold also have an array may be..
$arr[0] = "1";
$arr[1] = "2";

any quick help would be highly appreciated..

Give this a whirl, quick and dirty, but it works.

<?php
$sX = '7-1,16-2';
$aItems = explode('-',str_replace(',','-',$sX));
print_r($aItems);
/*
Array
(
    [0] => 7
    [1] => 1
    [2] => 16
    [3] => 2
)

*/
?>
