Turning text into seperate links in an implode?

[bakinc00kies]

This is the code that I've started with:

$book_id = $_GET['book_id'];

$query = "SELECT R_reviewerlnk
          FROM reviewer LEFT JOIN book_reviewer USING (R_id)
          WHERE book_reviewer.B_id = $book_id";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) >= 1) {
  while ($rev_arr = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $rev_name[] = stripslashes($rev_arr['R_reviewerlnk']);
  }
  $reviewer = implode(', ', $rev_name);
} else {
  echo mysql_error();
}

What I want to ultimately do is separate the results into independant links limiting the results to 5 reviewers. I've tried looking around and the closest thing I can think of doing is use a split() to separate the results and put separate html tags around them. Is there any way I can do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

without doing anything to the results, how do hey come out if you just echo them

When I just echo, the results come out as one string. so the seperate links become one long link
