How get data as array from DB to array variable in PHP

Question

In database postgresql i have field as INTEGER[]. In there i have for example data like this: {2,3,55,122} When i take this data from DB

$rs = getData();
$abc = $rs['raw'];
var_dump($abc);

output is

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(18) "{2,3,55,122}"
}

but i need data as array like this:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(2) "2"
  [1]=>
  string(2) "3"
  [2]=>
  string(2) "55"
  [3]=>
  string(2) "122"
}

How can i do it from database layer or php. Is one way use trim and explode only ?

up getData function in ZEND

private function getData(){
$select = $this->objDB->select()
->from(array('tb' => 'table'), array('raw',))
->where('id = 10');
return $this->select($select,true);
}

Answer 1

It's a 2-step process that is easily solved with built in functions:

$abc = explode( ',' ,str_replace( array('{', '}') , '',$abc)) ;

Remove the brackets from the string then explode.

OR as you said you can use trim:

$abc = explode( ',' , trim($abc , '{}')) ;
