Pasing String

explode the string to form an array; then loop with a foreach loop.

https://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php
https://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php

example:

$string = from metabox, use whatever code
$bits = explode(',', $string);
  if($bits) {
    echo '<ul>';
      foreach( $bits as $bit ) {
      echo '<li>'.bit.'</li>';
      }
    echo '</ul>';
  }

When I implement the above code, I get the word bit on each one of my list items. What am I doing wrong?

Found it. Forgot the $ between the . and the b.
