PHP - How Do Keep Only Text Inside A List?

Hi,
In my mysql database i have a text input option, in the registration form and edit my details form i have a multiple select dropdown list, which user selects options to populate the text input box, which ultimately populates the text field in the mysql database.
All works perfectly.

The dropdownlist consists of 3 parts <optgroups> first is current selection (what is the usesr current selection)works fine, The second <optgroup> is existing words, what words we(the site) have given as options, and the third <optgroup> is the words that others have used. This is where im having a small problem.
Because its a text field when i call the data from the database, it calls the entire text box as a single option in my select list..

I want to break the words in the text field (at the comma) and have them listed each one as an option in the select list.


Example what i need:

Words in text box:(my input allows the "comma")
word1, word2, word3, word4, word5, word6,

How i want them called/displayed:
<option value=\"word1\">word1</option>
<option value=\"word2\">word2</option>
<option value=\"word3\">word3</option>
<option value=\"word4\">word4</option>
<option value=\"word5\">word5</option>
<option value=\"word6\">word6</option>

here's my code:
$query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE  profile_id  = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1";
         $original_functionsexperience =doSelectSql($query,1);
         $query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE  profile_id  = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1";
         $functionsexperiencelist=doSelectSql($query);
          $funcexpList ="<select multiple=\"multiple\" onchange=\"setFunctionsexperience(this.options)\">";   
         foreach ($functionsexperiencelist as $functionsexperienceal)
            {
            $selected="";
            if ($functionsexperienceals->allwords == $original_functionsexperience)
               $selected=' selected="selected"';
            $allwords=$functionsexperienceal->allwords;
            $funcexpList .= "<optgroup label=\"Current selection\">
            <option value=\"".$allwords."\" ".$selected." >".$allwords."</option>
            </optgroup>      
              <optgroup label=\"Existing Words\">
              <option value=\"existing1,\">existing1</option>
              <option value=\"existing2,\">existing2</option>
              <option value=\"existing3,\">existing3</option>
              <option value=\"existing4,\">existing4</option>
              <option value=\"existing5,\">existing5</option>
              <option value=\"existing6,\">existing6</option>
         </optgroup>
         <optgroup label=\"Others added\">    //heres problem
         <option value=\"".$allwordsgeneral."\">".$allwordsgeneral."</option>
         </optgroup>";
            }
         $funcexpList.="</select>";
         $output['FUNCEXPLIST']=$funcexpList;         
      
         
   The result im getting for optgroup others added:
   word1, word2, word3, word4, word5,

how can i get it like this:
<option value=\"word1\">word1</option>
<option value=\"word2\">word2</option>
<option value=\"word3\">word3</option>
<option value=\"word4\">word4</option>
<option value=\"word5\">word5</option>
<option value=\"word6\">word6</option>

But I have no idea how to make this works , is there any simple example for this function ?
Thanks for any help provided .

Hi all,

Weird one: I am re-working a site for a client. Their old site currently grabs text from a DB and somehow automatically puts it into a <ul>. The only thing to signify a <li> is a linebreak. So if I entered:

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

into the database, they would come out looking like:

Item1 Item 2 Item 3
on the site. Anyone know of a way to recreate this?

An example of this in action is he http://www.postureperfection.com.au/Chairs/Amore_Chair/p/495/ (please remember - I am redesigning the site!)

Thanks heaps!

so far I have:

$crawler->filter('li.date, dt > a, li.style')->each(function ($node) {
                $output = $node->text()."\n";

                $array = explode("\n", $output);

                $data = array_chunk($array, 3);
//                print_r($data);
                foreach ($data as $row) {
                    [$date, $title, $type] = array_pad($row, 3, null);

                    // here you have your variables
                    print 'Date: '.$date;

                    print 'Title: '.$title;

                    print 'Type: '.$type;
                }

            });

and this outputs:
