What are you really looking to do? If you're
looking to get the words out of the string, just
explode it into an array and get the elements you want from the array.
$str = "apple,cherry,peach,pear";
$ary = explode(',',$str);

Hi all,
Let's say the string is
"apple,cherry,peach,pear" (not an array just a text string)
I see that I can use these (strpos & strripos)
to search for the first or last "," - but how to
I search for the ones in the middle (like third comma or 4th comma)?
strpos ? Find the position of the first occurrence of a substring in a string
strripos ? Find the position of the last
occurrence of a case-insensitive substring in a string
Thanks in advance
ex:
$this1 = "apple,cherry,peach,pear";
$findme = ',';
$pos = strpos($this1, $findme);
$pos2 = strripos($this1, $findme);
$showfirst = substr($this1, 0, $pos);
$showlast = substr($this1, $pos2+1, 9999 );
