How to get correct value from database mysql in php?

Question

I have a database mysql where I have some string that have this character: "§§STRING§§". So I do this:

$string = explode(§§, $app);

Probably mysql have a different format because this string isn't exploded. What I have to do?

Edit: I catch data from database. $app is a variable created with $row['column']. HOw can I explode?

Do you see the § in your browser or in the DB? If it is in the browser the entity value could be stored in the DB. — chris85

Try doing this:

$string = explode('§§', $app);

Add ''(single quote) for your character.
