better way to write this?

[listenmirndt]

if ($an == 1) {$x = '1';}
if ($an == 2) {$x = '1, 2';}
if ($an == 3) {$x = '1, 2, 3';}
if ($an == 4) {$x = '1, 2, 3, 4';}
if ($an == 5) {$x = '1, 2, 3, 4, 5';}
if ($an == 6) {$x = '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6';}
if ($an == 7) {$x = '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7';}
if ($an == 8) {$x = '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8';}
if ($an == 9) {$x = '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9';}
if ($an == 10){$x = '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10';}

Gets the job done, but its not very efficient & it limits at 10, wondering if there is a better way to write this...

Thanks!

$array = range(1, $an);
$x = implode(', ', $array);

[/B]

hum :

$x = implode(', ', range(1, $an));

just one line 🙂

It's not as compact as what's above but I think it's easier to reed which is a good thing as well.

<?php
$out = '';

for($i=1;$i<$an;$i++) {$out .= $i . ", ";}

$out .= $an;
?>

But don't forget to trim off the trailing ", ".
