Hi,
As long as I know you can consider a string as array in php. Means
$string[0] is "a", $string[1] is "p" and so on. So you can use a foreach
like :
foreach($string as $k => $v){
if($v == ",") $pos[] = $k;
}
$pos will be an array with values of commas position.
Note: index starts with 0. So $pos[0] will be 5 and so on.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I have not tested this or used this method
anywhere.
