explode string into variables
<p>Is there a way to explode a string into variables e.g</p>

<pre><code>some_function($min, $max, "3, 20");
</code></pre>

<p>such that $min is assigned 4 and $max is assigned 20.</p>

<p>I know I can simply use </p>

<pre><code>$data = explode("3, 20");
</code></pre>

<p>just wondering if there is another way.</p>
