hey, i am trying to split some data from a database that is being pulled by php into separate arrays. I can bring all the information into a single array and trace its position in that array but i need to have the information split depending on the the php output.

for example:  
&gallerytitle=imageone|imagetwo|imagethree|&galleryimages=img1.jpg|img2.jpg|img3.jpg  
i need the gallerytitle to be one array and the galleryimages to be another array

any help would be amazing, thanks!
