OK, it looks like $userinfo['buddylist'] is a string containing buddies 
separated by some whitespace:

  'buddy1 buddy2'

After the above statement $buddylist becomes an array.

Here implode() returns a string containing 'buddy1,buddy2', then you stick 
that into an array() which is effectively:

  array('buddy1,buddy2'); // note that there is only *1* element

Now unless your $uname['uid'] really is literally 'buddy1,buddy2' then $buddy 
will be false.

Hope that's enough to get you going.
