Take the time to read what people have suggested. I seem to remember people asking you if you had run is_array() on your so-called array. Well, if you didn't, and it's NOT an array, and therefore will NOT work with implode(), then feel free to facepalm ahead of time. --- <?php if(is_array($myvar)) { $newvar = implode(',', $myvar); } else { echo 'Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria!'; } ?> I believe something to that effect was posted, with fully intact code, on the list. Not to be rude, but if you're tasked with PHP programming and you don't understand what it is to run a function, you should probably bone up on procedural fundamentals and PHP in general before you go much further... or you're going to SERIOUSLY screw something up and be at a loss as to what you did (or how to fix it). Again--I'm not trying to be rude. I am giving honest advice. http://www.w3schools.com/php --- Bottom posting will prevail, damnit! :D As for your error, it is generally good list etiquette (and will help you, as well!) to post THE ACTUAL CODE that threw the error instead of "here's my error message and what line it happened on." We don't know the code on that line in question. We don't know the context (code surrounding it). As such, it is very difficult to derive anything whatsoever from your error message. Details! Also--if you're versed in Classic ASP, is PHP seriously all that different? Their function declarations and usage, opening/closing delimiters (<% and <?), etc. are all incredibly similar... anyway, I digress. It looks like you probably forgot to put something inside quotation marks, or some of your mark-up bled through into your code. Hard to tell, as I said, with just the error message. // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
