I am not very versed in php. However, what you want to do is keep the tags in some delimited form such as a comma and your full record will look like
date = 1/1/2000
tags = abc,123,zxy
author=mr bill
Then in your php script you can turn the tags field to an array and break it out with explode.
http://php.net/manual/en/f
$tags = tags;
var_dump( explode( ',', $tags ) );
result
(
[0] => string(5) "abc"
[1] => string(5) "123"
[2] => string(5) "xyz"
)
This is at least what I do in vb. I hope it translates. I am trying to learn php too.

I do not need to brake it on explode. I need to join them in mysql query so when i make query it give me all my blogs and all my tags with out making number of tags copy of blog.
I'm sorry, I think I see. You want to end up with a list of unduplicated blog tags that have been used at least once. If that is the case you can use.
Select tag as tags from blog RIGHT JOIN tags ON tags.blog = blog.id where ".$where." date <= DATE(NOW()) and `show` = '1' limit ".$page.",".$limit. GroupBy tag"
Again, I am more versed in ms but I think this translates similarly.

You might want to consider "normalization" of the tags into a separate table. If you're not sure you understand what "normalization" means, make a Google search for "Should I Normalize My Database" and read the very interesting design ideas -- both pro and con -- about this subject.
Armed with that information your query may be able to use GROUP BY to limit the size of the results set.
