Can any body help me getting the soluation please?

Answer 1

If the output is displayed in a textarea:
$address = str_replace(",",",\n",$_POST['address']);
echo $address;
If its on HTML:
$address = str_replace(",",",<br/>",$_POST['address']);
echo $address;

Answer 2

If , is the delimiter that you want to split the string then try with explode in php
$str = 'The Manager, Scotia bank Ltd,Cincinnati Finance Center,26 W. Martin Luther King Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45268';
$arr = explode(',',$str);
print_r($arr);

You can use explode.Try this :
<?php
$str= "The Manager, Scotia bank Ltd,Cincinnati Finance Center,26 W. Martin Luther King Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45268";
$arr = explode(",",$str);
for($i=0;$i<count($arr);$i++)
{
if($i==(count($arr)-1))
$comma = "";
else
$comma = ",";
echo $arr[$i].$comma."<br>";
