Sam, do you want to turn them into hyperlinks? If your data is really that
clean explode() should do the trick, otherwise you may want to look at
split(). Here's a solution using explode(). See the PHP manual for
details. FYI, unless you have some way planned for grouping together words
(like "Sam Rose") the PHP code will split them apart.
// $string is a string pulled from a database.
// explode() below splits $string into an array by splitting into array
elements when encounters " " in code.
// In your example, $words[0] = "Hi"; $words[1] = "My"; ...; $words[5] =
"Rose";
$words = explode( " ", $string );
// Loop through array and build string $output containing hyperlinks.
for ( $i = 0; $i < count( $words ); $i++ )
{
$output .= "<a href='/{$words[$i]}.html'>{$words[$i]}</a>";
}
// Print hyperlinks.
echo $output;
