thank you !

Have you searched into the [PHP documentation](http://php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php)? One of the tags you attached to the question is also the name of a [PHP function](http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php) that can help you. — axiac, Jan 29 '16 at 22:01
@JayBlanchard apart from the fact that [`split()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.split.php) is deprecated since PHP 5.3 (and removed in PHP 7), `split(',', $string)` works the same as `explode(',', $string)`. Anyway, my point was about reading the documentation. Simple questions like this one always have the answers in the manual. — axiac, Jan 29 '16 at 22:12

This is quite straigtforward

<?php

list($string1, $string2) = explode(",", $string);

or more excant

<?php

$splitTokens = explode(",", $string); // this is what "split" is in other languages, splits an spring by a SEP and retrieving an array
$string1 = $splitTokens[0];
$string2 = $splitTokens[1];
