The array() construct is not a function, so it's generally used
only to create arrays without variables. I'm not sure if it can handle
vars inside it. There are maybe some tricks to get around this, but
implode/explode are better for mucking with arrays anyway.

I'll try to give a little help.

$quebuscototal = "abc def ghi jkl";
$quees = explode(" ",$quebuscototal);

should result in an array like this:

$quees[0]="abc";
$quees[1]="def";
$quees[2]="ghi";
$quees[3]="jkl";

There are lots of fun ways to manipulate arrays in PHP, by the way. Look
at explode, implode, array_pop, array_push and some of the others listed
in the docs.
