convert string to array

[runrunforest]

Hi,

I have a string like this

$string = "computer mousecomputer keyboardgame padmonitorphonecardogcat"

when read correctly they are:

computer mouse
computer keyboard
game pad
monitor
phone
car
dog
cat

The problem is I don't know what to put in explode() first parameter to get the array with those values.

[logic_earth]

you need something to separate the items.

You cannot do it with that string I'm afraid, there is no programmatic approach given the information supplied.

I think i should've started from the beginning

			while ($subcat_rows1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($subcat_result1))
			{
				$groups = $subcat_rows1['meaning'];
			}

echo $groups

output will be the string I've given.

Is there any way we can format the string before converting to array ?

[AnthonySterling]

If 'meaning' contains each individual entry ('game pad' for example) you could just alter your loop slightly to produce an array.

$groups = $subcat_rows1['meaning']; 

$groups[] = $subcat_rows1['meaning'];

Many thanks.
