[SOLVED] How to add a ';' charater to an array??

[gabrielkolbe]

I sounds easy and I am sure to some people it will be, but I am struggling and would appreciate some help.

I have an array of email addresses and in the array I like to add an ';' character to each email address so that I can use the array in the mail to function - I want to send bulk emails to everyone on my email list. Any one any idea how to go about this, I would appreciate it!!

Thanks

This is my code at the moment when i echo out the list the ; character must be at the end of each email address..

$mail = array();
$query = "SELECT * FROM email_list WHERE hear = 'Yes'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
array_push ($mail, $row->email);
}
?>

<br><br><strong>Emails</strong><br>
<? foreach ($mail as $ma => $key){

echo $key; echo '<BR>'; }?>

I know I can echo it out like so
echo $key; echo ';'; echo '<BR>'; }?>

But I need to it be part of an array otherwise I can not use it in the mailto fucntion

Just make your array using....

[code=php:0]
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
  $array[] = $row->email; 
}
[/code]

Then, from the array, instead of using a loop create one long string of email addresses divided by ; by using...

[code=php:0]
$emails = implode(';',$array);
[/code]

implode the array:
[code]while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
  array_push ($mail, $row->email); 
  }
// implodes the mail array to something like this:
// [email protected];[email protected];[email protected] etc
$addys = implode(';', $mail);[/code]

Umm, thorpe beat me :)

thanks, but this does not really help me. Because I end up with a string not a array..

[gabrielkolbe]

found the solution ..thanks guys!!!

array_push ($mail, $row->email);
$emails = implode('; ',$mail);
$emailer = explode(" ", $emails);

If you really want to keep an array just use....

[code=php:0]
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
  array_push ($mail, $row->email.';'); 
}
[/code]
