<?
$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
