Trying to loop inside array

I am working on a PHP file.

There is a string array that I receive via POST:

$str = (45,42,12,);

First I remove the last comma:

$str = substr($string_temas,0,-1);

I get then

$str = (45,42,12);

To check it, I echoed it:

echo "str value=".$str;

And I get as echo result:

str value=45,42,12

Then I try to loop for each item, like this:

foreach ($str as $value) {

        }

but I am getting an error:

Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in .....line (foreach ($str as $value) {

What am I doing wrong?

If your final string is 45,42,12 then you can use explode function of PHP

$finalArray = explode(",",$str);

foreach ($finalArray as $value) {

}

You'll only receive a string from request data, not an array. Use explode to split comma separated data into an array

$arr=explode(',',$str);

Then you can loop through this.

because you loop string variable. To convert string to array, you can use explode function.

foreach (explode(",", $str) as $value) {
    ...
}

Before looping, you need to have an array. You probably want to explode the string:

$array = explode(',', $str);
foreach ($array as $value) {
 // code here...
}
