Split a variable into an Array

Question

I'm trying to get a PHP script to split a list of numbers separated by a comma into an array, which i can then loop through and execute a command for each number in the list.

So what i really want to achieve is this;

$numbers = "2564521,5451254"
$data = array($numbers)

However this will not work with an array.

This is what i have so far;

$data = array(2564521,5451254);

//Our 'stepping' variable
$g = 0;

//Our rowcount
$rowcount = 0;

echo "<table cellspacing='0'>\r";
    for ($i=0; $i<count($data); ) {

        $rowcount++;
        echo "    <tr>\r"; //New row

        $g = $i + 3; //Set our nested limit
        for( ; $i<$g; $i++) { //nested for loop

            if (!isset($data[$i])) { //Allow us to break on incomplete rows
                break;
            }

            echo "        <td style='border: 1px #000 solid;'>\r"; //Out put a cell
            echo "         Number: $data[$i]</p>\r";
            echo "        </td>\r";
            echo "$data[$i]</p>\r";

            $tonumbers = "$data[$i]";

//Execute command for each number


        }

        echo "    </tr> \r"; //End New Row
    }

echo "</table>\r";?>

I would appreciate any help, thanks!

Looks like PHP, if so you can do

$data = explode(",", $numbers);

Thanks, although i did try that and all i got was the first number and only the first digit of the second number, I'm not sure why though?

If you have a string $numbers = "2564521,5451254", then it should split those numbers into an array with explode. What is the data you are working with?

I am a bit confused by your code. Let me see if this is what you are looking for.

<?php

$testdata = "123123123123,34234804982";

$data = explode(",", $testdata);

foreach($data as $number) {
    echo $number . '|';
}

?>
