Code:

$new_variable=explode('=', $old_variable);

$new_variable will contain an array with "search" and "abc" in it, and $old_variable will contain "search=abc".

I take it this isn't a query string, like http://www.site.com/script.php?search=abc ? Because if it is, $HTTP_GET_VARS['search'] would contain the text "abc".
