Simple do this:
[code]while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
    echo $row['pid'] . ',';
}[/code]and you'll get a result of 1,2,3,4,5,

If you want to not show the ending , after 5 then do this:

[code]$pid = ''; //setup the variable pid
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
    $pid .= $row['pid'] . ',';
}
//this removes the last character from value in $pid
$pid = substr($pid, 0, strlen($pid)-1);[/code]
You should now get a result like 1,2,3,4,5

A different way is to use a temporary array and the implode() function:
[code]<?php
$tmp = array(); // make sure we start with an empty array
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
    $tmp[] = $row['pid'];
}
$pid = implode(',',$tmp);
?>[/code]
