Answer 1

You want to display your comma separated data into separate rows. You can try this.
<?
//Here is the complete example of your code by using MYSQLi Object Oriented:
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "select product_id,product_name form products where product_id=1234";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
$yourData = array();
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$yourData[$row['product_id']] = explode(",",$row['product_name']);
}
if(count($yourData) > 0){
foreach ($yourData as $key => $value) {
foreach ($value as $productname) {
echo "Product ID >> ".$key. " -- Product Name >> ".$productname;
}
}
}
}
else
{
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
Side Note: If you are using mysql_* in your application than i suggest you to use mysqli_* or PDO because mysql_* is deprecated and not available in PHP 7.
