I am working in wordpress. I am using a custom field to get an set of values. Right now, it returns this into my theme.

Pizza, Piatti al forno, Insalata, Toppings, Pagnottelle,

I tried using explode() to echo it out into an unordered list using the comma as the delimeter but all I could get was

Array

or

Array ( [0] => Array )

So I set it back to get the values above. Here is what I have right now


<?php 
global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$item = get_post_meta($postid, 'lunch menu', true);
?>
<ul>
 <?php
foreach( $item as $items){
echo '<li>'.$items."</li>";
}
wp_reset_query();
?>
</ul>

Try this:

$string = 'Pizza, Piatti al forno, Insalata, Toppings, Pagnottelle';
$arr = explode(', ', $str);

for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++) {
    echo '<li> ' .$arr[$i] . "</li>";
};

thanks for the help Jamy_za but I figured it out about 3 seconds after getting your email. I think my foreach loop was wrong. Here is how I did it


global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$item = get_post_meta($postid, 'lunch menu', true);
$items = explode(",", $item);
?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach($items as $menu) {
	echo '<li>'.$menu."</li>";
}
wp_reset_query();
