How to create Ul list from string?

i prefer jquery.

let's say i have a string wi开发者_如何学Goth ,

adam, lisa, john, sarah

and i want to turn them into :

<ul><li>Adam</li><li>lisa</li><li>john</li><li>sarah</li></ul>

"<ul><li>" + "adam, lisa, john, sarah".split(", ").join("</li><li>") + "</li></ul>"

[Edit:] I assumed javascript since you mentioned jQuery. I don't know the best way to do it in php, but you do the same as above using preg_split and implode in php.

Using jQuery's $.map function:

var names = 'adam,lisa,john,sarah';
var html = '<ul>'+$.map(names.split(','), function(name){
    return '<li>'+name+'</li>'
}).join('')+'</ul>';

Or you could do explode and foreach:

$array = explode(', ','adam, lisa, john, sarah');
foreach ($array as $name) {
  $output .= '<li>' . $name . '</li>';
}
echo '<ul>' . $output . '</ul>';

Maybe a little simpler.

EDIT: Even easier would be a regular str_replace.

$list = '<ul><li>' . str_replace(', ','</li><li>','adam, lisa, john, sarah') . '</li></ul>';
echo $list;

To do it in PHP, explode the string to make it into an array and then use array_map to convert each item to a li tag. Once that's done, implode it to get the desired result:

$items = explode( ",", "adam,lisa,john,sarah" );

array_map( "makeLiTag", $items );

echo( "<ul>" . implode( "", $items ) . "</ul>" );

function makeLiTag( &$item, $key )
{
    $item = "<li>$item</li>";
}
