Display images when a MySQL column contains more than one image url within the string

Hey guys I am just displaying images from my database using PHP PDO, I am just wondering how I can do this...

The image column within my database contains about 6 image links separated by commas, how can I display these links in unique img elements?

Here is an example of the column string: http://images.autoexposure.co.uk/AETA83919/AETV10725693_1b.jpg,http://images.autoexposure.co.uk/AETA83919/AETV10725693_2b.jpg

There are only two images in that string however there will be more in other rows.

How can I print those images links into their own img src elements?

Thanks, Nick

You should use "explode".

$string = "http://images.autoexposure.co.uk/AETA83919/AETV10725693_1b.jpg,http://images.autoexposure.co.uk/AETA83919/AETV10725693_2b.jpg" $array = explode(',', $string); this will separate the string content when finding the comma into array

Let me know if this works for you !
