I was wondering

Hello. I really love SMF. But I wanna know what it's called when SMF retrieves two data from a row. Such as when you have | in between a buddy and SMF reads just the IDs before the |. What is that called? Or do you have to specify it in PHP?

could be a data separator.  You can use http://php.net/explode and http://php.net/implode to learn more about that (if I'm understanding you correctly)

Thanks. I believe it's explode. I should of given a better example. Like for example.

usernames:
admin's id = 1
moderator's id = 32
technical's id = 61
guest = 2
test = 51

admin's buddy row in MySQL looks like this:
32 | 61 | 2 | 51

moderator's buddy row in MySQL looks like this:
1 | 61 | 2 | 51

.etc....

That's what I was actually looking for, but explode is similar to what I'm looking for.

If you're going to adjust SMF related stuff, do us all a favor and create backups first before manually adjusting any coding or queries.
