Note Submitter: jimbob ---- My take on a simple english list function - it's similar to what's already here, but calls count less function x_implode_eng_list($array, $glue=', ', $final=' and '){ //takes an array and outputs an English style list //perform the count once $count = count($array); //make sure it's an array and has content if((!is_array($array)) || ($count == 0)) { return ''; } else { //pop off the end regardless of length $end = array_pop($array); //if there's more than one, implode the remainder using glue and append $end if($count>1){ return implode($glue, $array) . $final . $end; } else { //only one value, return the popped end element return $end; } } } $names[] = 'bob'; $names[] = 'john'; $names[] = 'lucy'; echo x_implode_eng_list($names); //will output bob, john and lucy echo x_implode_eng_list($names, ', ', ' or '); //will output bob, john or lucy
