convert javascript comma separated string into an array

Question

I have a comma separated string that I want to convert into an array so I can loop through it.

Is there anything built-in to do this?

Answer 1

var array = string.split(',');

Answer 2

The split() method is used to split a string into an array of substrings, and returns the new array.

var array = string.split(',');

Answer 3

In javascript and PHP you have these two very powerful functions:

JS: String.split(String) Array.join(String);

PHP: explode(string,string) implode(string,array)
