comma separated values in mysql column

how to separte csv values in mysql field

[Jose52]

What is the easiest way to echo the contents of a mysql field/column that contains comma separated values. For example, the field contains apples,jam,peaches. I want generate a keyword menu that echos out these values in this keyword column as individual words as delimited by the commas. This is probably an easy solution, but I have never had to do this before. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks coopster. So treat the variable as an array and explode it?

Exploding the variable creates the array, then iterate the resulting array with foreach().
