You are creating $content_array in your while loop so its scope is limited to the while loop. To test this simply do a var_dump or print_r on $content_array outside your loop and see if it actually is an array, which I guess it won't it will either be null or an empty string. To solve simply do an initialisation of the variable before the while loop like $content_array = ''. Regards Stefan
