explode

I have only recently gotten into php and MySQL and I want to take an RSS feed, turn it into an array, take only the description part of the XML, explode it and insert it into a table on a MySQL base.

I feel like this should be possible, but is a little over my head right now. I tried using magpie as a parser, but if possible I want to do it in simpler php code.

The result I am looking for would take a description "This is a cat" and insert it into a table with two fields

ID term
1 This
2 is
3 a
4 cat

I've been stumped on this for a couple days. Any help would be great.
