Re: array to string

try this $fupdatecontents=''; while ( list($key,$value) = each($fcontents) ) { $fupdatecontents .=$value; } $fcontents = $fupdatecontents; or just write $fupdatecontents into the file. You may need to add a \n after each line ( which I'm not sure);. If you need you can change the $fupdatecontents .=$value; line to $fupdatecontents .=$value."\n"; HTH R'twick ----- Original Message ----- From: "René Fournier" <renefournier@yahoo.com> To: "Php-General" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 12:05 PM Subject: [PHP] array to string > Just trying to convert an array to string before writing the whole thing > back out to a file.
