This what you mean?:

<?php

$numbers = array("one", "two", "three", "...");

echo implode(", ", $numbers);
// output: one, two, three, ...

?>

 

Need more information on what you are trying to do. Post your code here too.

[rajmohan]

ya nice i am happy is there any another way.

[onlyican]

Using the same array

 

<?php
$numbers = array("one", "two", "three", "...");
foreach($numbers as $TheNumber){
echo $TheNumber."<br />\n";
}

 

it all depends on why you want to do the loop, to what will be the best method

[wildteen88]

Your not making much sense. But are you tying to add a string which containts "one","two", "three", etc....... in to a text file with no html formatting?

[rajmohan]

yes actually i am having lot of city in a text file i need it like that other wise i want to put comma double quateos

[wildteen88]

How do you get the list of cities? Does it come from a textarea which the user submits and each city is on a new line? I need more info in order to provide working code for you.

[onlyican]

ok I understand I think

You dont want

one

two

three

ect

You want

one

two

three

four

five

..

..

..

 

If its a text sheet, not HTM, you want \n\r NOT <br />

 

[rajmohan]

actually i collect lot of citys from the net and put it in the textfile i forgot to put double quots and comma so now it contain lot of things what can i do

 

 

[wildteen88]

Something like this?:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['cities']) && !empty($_POST['cities']))
{
    $cities_list = $_POST['cities'];

    // put each city on its own in an array.
    $cities = explode("\n", $cities_list);

    // now we format how we want the cities to be added to the txt file
    $city_list = '';

    foreach($cities as $city)
    {
        $city_list .= '"' . trim($city) . '", ';
    }

    //clean up the cities_listed sting
    $city_list = substr($city_list, 0, (strlen($city_list)-2));

    echo 'Cities to be added:<br />' . $city_list . '<br /><hr />';

    // open file read for writing
    $city_file = fopen('cities.txt', 'a');

    // make sure file is writeable
    if(is_writable('cities.txt'))
    {
        // write cities list to file
        fwrite($city_file, $city_list . "\r\n");

        // close the file
        fclose($city_file);
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'Unable to write to file!';
    }

}

?>
<form action="" method="post">
Cities:<br /><textarea name="cities"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Cities!" />
</form>

Add each city on a new line in the textarea. Submit the form it will format the string to be entered into the text file for you, the format entered into the text file would be like this:

"city1, "city2", "city3", "exct...."

 

It will add each group of cities you submit on a new line in the text file too.
