[RESOLVED] Conditional statement needed

[Bilbozilla]

Hi. I've been searching the forum for the answer and cannot find it, although I am certain I am not the first to experience this.

I am displaying the results of a query, with each item having a comma added to it so that a proper list appears. I think I may have outsmarted myself, as I cannot figure out the logic needed to print the comma on all but the last entries. I know it's a simple solution, but my mind is stuck in a rut.

My thinking is that as long as the counter is less than the total number of results, it will add a comma. As soon as it reaches the total number, it will not add the comma. Here is the code:

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cont_result,MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
	for($ccc = 1; $ccc <= $num_rows; $ccc++)
	{  

              if($ccc<$num_rows)
	           {
	                echo $row['name'] . ', ';
	            } else {
			echo $row['name'];
	            }
                   }
         }

Thanks.

I'm thinking implode might help out, but I'm caught on the syntax and logic of this problem. How would I get the searched elements into a string with which I could implode?

I FOUND IT!

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cont_result,MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
 $array[] = $row['name']; 
}

echo implode(", ",$array);
