RE: [PHP] foreach not in reach

You didn't supply any information about you foreach() loop, but it works like foreach ($array as $string) print "$element<br>\n"; And explode() returns an array, so I think you need to do it like this: $array = explode(";", $string); array_push($authors, $array); // You could use foreach() here as well Niklas -----Original Message----- From: jtjohnston [mailto:taylorjo@collegesherbrooke.qc.ca] Sent: 22. helmikuuta 2002 8:48 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] foreach not in reach Question 1: How can I append strings to my authors array?
