Note Submitter: Leo ---- when parsing a simple list of files or information retrieved from a database or other source, it's best to use explode. i spent a some amount of time trying to figure out how I could use parse_str to that end, but explode made my world a lot easier. //snippet $result = mysql_query ("SELECT access FROM users WHERE id=1") or die ("ERROR in query - unable to select information"); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $pdfs = $myrow["access"]; $files = explode (" ", $pdfs); echo $filers[$i]; //end snippet hope that saves someone some time and confusion~
