Good one, but if you want to give getopts another try:
Code:
# cat myscript 
#!/usr/bin/ksh

while getopts "a:t:" opt
do
   case "${opt}" in 
    a) AVAR=ACTIVE 
       string_avar="${OPTARG}" ;;
    t) TVAR=ACTIVE 
       string_tvar="${OPTARG}" ;;
   esac
done

if [ "${AVAR}." != "." ] 
then
   echo "string_avar: ${string_avar}"
fi

if [ "${TVAR}." != "." ] 
then
   echo "string_tvar: ${string_tvar}"
fi

Code:
# ./myscript -a apples,oranges,pears -t ham,pastrami,bologna
string_avar: apples,oranges,pears
string_tvar: ham,pastrami,bologna
