[UPHPU] A couple of questions - Arrays and String problem

[Jonathan Grotegut]

A couple of questions:

1- I am working on a PHP web page that will build a table.  The data
for the table is coming from a MySQL database, one of the fields is a
list of multiple items.  I would like each item in the list to be a
link to click on that would take the user to a different place.  Would
an array(s) be the best solution for this type of problem or would
something else work better?

2- In conjunction with question number 1, the items in the list are
input with a "," as a seperator.  I have found some functions (i.e.
strrpos) that will find a particular character or characters in a
string.  However, best I can tell these only work on finding the first
or the last character in that string not every one.  Do I need to
(attempt to) build my own function that would find all of the "," in a
string or is there one that would work for this that is already
included in PHP?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA
