O/H Ron Piggott ??????:
I am trying to add a search feature to my shopping cart. I am wanting to use PHP to develop the query for mySQL. I have the following code figured out: foreach(explode(" ", $keyword) as $key) $query .= " $key, "; This produces: WHERE shopping_cart_product.product_description IN ( Jesus, is, Lord, ) The weakness is the trailing , after the last word the user types in. How can I eliminate this? Ron You can alternative use implode which I think is a much better choice because it does exactly what you need.
You can use it like this $keys = implode(",",$keyword); $query .= $keys; This is the reference in the manual: http://gr2.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php -- Thodoris
