<?$string='datagreen,datablue,dataetc';
 $ary = explode($string, ',');
 foreach($ary as $a)
 {
 echo "<p>".$a."</p>\t";
 }
 ?>
 explode() creates an array by breaking a string on deliminators (boundries).
 Running the above in php should output what's below in the client browser.
 
 datagreen
 datablue
 dataetc
