I'm making a recipe database, and need to have DB fields in mySQL that
will have lists of values that would get sent to an array to be worked
on.

I anticipate that at times a comma will need to be used in the value
itself. So, what's a commonly used symbol or something that people tend
to use as a separator of a list that would then be used in the split()
function to send the elements into an array?

Nearly every punctuation has a chance of being in the actual data. Any
suggestions?

Thanks!
Liam
