Array to Variable - help needed.

Siggles

I'm trying to use a variable that is created inside a foreach loop outside of the foreach statement. The reason I am doing this is I need to put a list of chosen properties into a form to be e-mailed.

The below quotes works fine in the foreach code and prints the imploded variable onto the page. Outside of the foreach statement it just prints the last one. Global doesnt work. Is there another way?Look particularly at BOLD bit.

<?php

if(!isset($SESSION['name'])){
$SESSION['name'] = array();
}
array_push($SESSION['name'], $REQUEST['name']);

$hello = file('../xfile.txt');
$anything=array_shift($hello);
foreach($hello as $row) {
$lin = explode('","', $row);

if (in_array($lin[1], $_SESSION['name'])){
$arrayr = array($lin[1]);
global $comma_separated;
$comma_separated = implode(",", $arrayr);
print $comma_separated;

}
}

print $comma_seperated;

if (in_array($lin[1], $_SESSION['name'])){
$arrayr = array($lin[1]);
global $comma_separated;
$comma_separated = implode(",", $arrayr);
print $comma_separated;

}

u overwrite the value of $comma_seperated each time so that at the end u have only the last value, if you want to append the value do this

$comma_separated="";
if (in_array($lin[1], $_SESSION['name'])){
$arrayr = array($lin[1]);
$comma_separated .= implode(",", $arrayr);
//print $comma_separated;

}

That hasn't worked. I still can't print the $comma_seperated variable outside of the foreach statement. :-(

I understand your thinking, that you are trying to add to rather than chnage the variable but that doesn't seem to have worked.

I managed to do it like this:

global $comma_separated;
if (in_array($lin[1], $_SESSION['name'])){
$arrayr = array($lin[1]);
$comma_separated .= implode(",", $arrayr);

then further down out side the loop in my form I have:

which prints 'example1example2example3' in the form whcih is great :-)

All I have left to do is to work out how to add a space in between.
