You have to split the string by delimiter(, in this case). One of the best-known methods is using preg_split function which splits the string by specified delimiter and returns the split string as elements of an array.

PHP

<?php
$x = "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10";
$z = preg_split ("/\,/", $x);
print_r($z);
?>

The output of the above code will be:

PHP

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] =>  2
    [2] =>  3
    [3] =>  4
    [4] =>  5
    [5] =>  6
    [6] =>  7
    [7] =>  8
    [8] =>  9
    [9] =>  10
)
