remove extra commas from loop

[harmor19]

I have a loop where I add a comma after every result. How can I only have it so a comma is placed after a string?

I want
boo,foo,testing,123

I don't want
boo,,testing,123,

I can only guess since you posted no code.
There are many simple ways to avoid this depending on the situation. Why don't you explain more what you are doing and post some code.

Well I'm making multiple drop down menus generated by a query which will be placed on the registration page.
The user can select an option from any or all of the drop down menus.
To avoid having to create potentially 100 or more rows in the database I thought I would insert them all into one field then use "explode".

The code below inserts the data.
foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['favoriteteam'] as $team)
{
$teams .= "$team,";
}

$userdata->set('favoriteteam', $teams);



This code retrieves the data
$teams = explode(",", $post['favoriteteam']);

foreach($teams as $key => $val)
{
$sportlogos .= "<img src='images/sports/$val.gif' width='30' height='30' /> ";

}

This will take your original array and create a comma seperated string of the array values.


$teams = implode(',', $vbulletin->GPC['favoriteteam']);

I thought up this code.


foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['favoriteteam'] as $team)
{
$teams .= "$team,";
}
$teams = $teams.",0";
$teams = str_replace(",,", ",", $teams);
$teams = str_replace(",0", "", $teams);

Why would you do all that?

The code I gave you will turn any array into a string of values seperated by commas.

It lets you know that I'm trying.

For your code I can just use?
$teams = implode(',', $vbulletin->GPC['favoriteteam']);
$userdata->set('favoriteteam', $teams);

I think he wants your code to do what it dies, but NOT append the comma after the last result

Implode does not put a comma at the end.
