Implode

I'm trying to join an array so it appears as a list with:

$method = strip_tags(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[forminput]));
$method = implode("</li><li>", $method);
$method = "<li>".$method."</li>";

PHP:

but it's not liking this approach and tells me parameter 1 of implode is an array where as it should be a string??

 

Works just fine for me. Are you sure the error came from the lines you have posted ?

 

you cannot use mysql_real_escape_string and strip_tags with an array type of variable.. it should be a string..

and also.. don't use mysql_real_escape_string if you're not using it in a mysql query.. you can read it's definition here.. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php

 

I think you mean 'variable type of array'...

 

Well it is to be used in a query but that's a few lines down, I prefer not to share my queries for security

The problem was the functions being in the wrong order, if you do the mysql_real_escape_string last on the completed string then it works fine!

$ingrediants = "<li>".mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags(implode("</li><li>", $_POST[ingrediants]), "<li>"))."</li>";
