How to split a string and place each splitted part in array?

How to split a string and place each splitted part in array?

Hello guys,
How can I split a string like this:

IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari

I want the string to be splitted after each   ,

Then I want that each splitted part is placed in a variable, preferable in an array, so I can loop through the array with an foreach or something.

I hope you guys understand me.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
