What you want is some sort of split or tokenize function. Java has a class (java.util.StringTokenizer, I believe) that handles breaking up strings based on a particular separator - in this case, a comma. In ASP (VB, really) there is - if I remember - a split() function that will break up a string based on a separator. PHP is nice because so many functions are built in - but it's that same thing that annoys me sometimes. I often program in PHP not by logic but by hunting for a function that does what I want.
