PDM> Help? You could explode it, loop it, etc etc - but if the data always follows that format and is trust-worthy, the following is probably quicker: $old_data = "house,ball,door,roof,floor"; $data = "'" . str_replace("," , "','" , $old_data) . "'"; At least, I can't see why this won't work :) If your data has all those extra spaces in, then just amend the str_replace accordingly.
