Grimloch Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hello all, I have a slight problem that I need help with. I am working on a php newsletter script. What I am trying to do is figure out how to format the output of an array (displays to the admin all of the email addresses that were sent-to); my array name is '$list'. As it is now say I select 20 users for receiving the newsletter/message. After it is sent the output to the admin screen would be: Message Sent To: xxx@x.com, xxx@x.com, xxx@x.com, etc. etc. etc. for a continuos horizontal line of 20 email addresses seperated by a comma and a space. What I need to do is manipulate the array dropping the ', ' (comma and a space), display 4 email addresses then break and display the next 4 etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wildteen88 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 If $list is an array. You can use array_chunk to cut your $list array into smaller arrays which hold 4 emails each. Then you can do $rows = array_chunk($list, 4); foreach($rows as $emails) { echo implode(', ', $emails) . '<br />'; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165692-solved-array-manipulation/#findComment-874015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 $email = array(); $sizeof = sizeof($list); for ($i = 1; $i <= $sizeof; ++$i) { if (!($i % 4)) { print implode(', ', $email); $email = array(); } $email[] = $list[$i - 1]; mail(..); } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165692-solved-array-manipulation/#findComment-874016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 If $list is a string you can explode by the comma and follow prev posts or leave as string and do this: $list = preg_replace('~((?:[^,]*,){4})~','$1<br/>',$list); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165692-solved-array-manipulation/#findComment-874042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimloch Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 @Crayon Violet: Thanks but I'm there already! If $list is an array. You can use array_chunk to cut your $list array into smaller arrays which hold 4 emails each. Then you can do $rows = array_chunk($list, 4); foreach($rows as $emails) { echo implode(', ', $emails) . '<br />'; } Thanks 'wildteen88'. This completely solved my problem. Had to change it a little though; I forgot that $list was already a string derived from the array which is simply $array. So I changed it to this: array_chunk($array, 2); I decided on 2 addresses across instead of 4. This works perfectly! Thanks again !
