MYSQL insert comma separated values into separate fields?

Question

I know its a strange question, but I have one input field that does a live search for locations. The final value is displayed like this:

State,Suburb,Post Code

NSW,Sydney,2210

What I need to do now is split the three values into single values and update them into my separate fields for one row.

I don't want to update multiple rows but just one.

eg:

fields ( state | suburb | postcode ) values ( NSW | sydney | 2210 )

What php commands would I use to split those commas off and create single $values for each item?

Answer 1

Use explode on the string.

$values = 'A,B,C,D';
$values = explode(',', $values);

Each item can then be accessed from an array indexed from 0.

Answer 2

$val = "NSW,Sydney,2210";
$valArr = explode(",", $val);
$query = "UPDATE MyTbl SET State = '$valArr[0]', Suburb = '$valArr[1]', Post_Code = '$valArr[2]' WHERE ...";

Answer 3

我认为最简单的方法，请参阅explode手册：

$result_array = explode(',', $your_variable);

Answer 4

list($state, $suburb, $postcode) = explode(',', $value);

Answer 5

Would this work?

$header = "State,Suburb,Post Code"
$items = explode(",", $input)
$output = implode("|", $items)

so the output would become State|Suburb|Post Code

to access each value separately, you can use $items[0] , $items[1] ..

$data = "NSW,Sydney,2210"
$items = explode(",", $input)
$output = implode("|", $items)

so the output would become NSW|Sydney|2210
