Question

I have a while loop use to write a list. i’d like every element separated with a comma, but write a dot after the last one, not a coma.
Here is my code

$exec = mysql_query($req);
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($exec)){
    echo '<strong>'.$row['name'].'</strong>, ';
}

But I don’t know how to do that. I tried using count() or end(), but none of these works. A little help would be great !

Answer 1

$html = array();

$exec = mysql_query($req);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($exec)){
    $html[] = '<strong>' . htmlspecialchars($row['name']) . '</strong>';
    // --------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^! (1)
}

$html = implode(', ', $html) . '.';

(1) – Never output data to HTML without escaping it properly.
