Welcome to the list Greg,
There are thousand ways - try converting the string to an array then looping
through the array with either a for() loop, a do-while or a foreach()
$my_array = explode(",", $mylist);
foreach ($my_array as $one_element) {
echo $one_element."<br>";
}
- or -
$my_array = explode(",", $mylist);
$array_count = count($my_array);
for ($j = 0; $j < $array_count; $j++) {
echo $my_array[$j];
echo "<br>\n";
}
etc etc.
Have a squizz at the manual on each() and list() functions and the while()
constructs also, and a very rich set of array and string functions in
general.
