What array_push is doing is adding the *whole* array onto the existing array.
What you need is to add the *elements* of the array onto the existing array.
Try this:
$news = mysql_query("select id,AUS from $table");
$authors = array();
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
echo $mydata->id."|".$mydata->AUS."<hr>\n";
$tmp = explode(";", $mydata->AUS);
foreach($tmp as $val) {
array_push($authors, $val);
}
}
print_r($authors);
