array to real list
Very simple function, but some newbie might have use for it; could also probably be integrated with Smarty if it’s not already. Probably should add some error throwing in here, but this works for my purposes.
Enjoy:
<?php
// turns an array into a "real list"
function array_to_real_list( $array ) {
$str = '';
$last_part = array_pop($array);
foreach ( $array as $part ) {
$str .= trim($part) . ', ';
}
$str .= 'and ' . $last_part;
return $str;
}
/* Usage example: ----------------------------------------
$array = array('lettuce', 'tomato', 'corn', 'ranch salad dressing');
echo array_to_real_list($array); // lettuce, tomato, corn, and ranch salad dressing
----------------------------------------------------------- */
