[SOLVED] Remove extra Comma for last Author?

How would you remove the extra ", " for the last author in the string array.

Its in the video, just before the 4:00 mark. Using implode() on the array.

Okay I understand the 'implode()' part, but it will still add a ", " to the last author ex: "Sarah Jean, Mike Jones, Carrie Blue, ". How would you remove ", " at the end of only "Carrie Blue.

Hi Joe,

There must be something else going on then. implode() won't add the glue string after the last element in the array. Only between each element.

I don't see a trailing comma in the video after the authors and I also don't have one in my personal files.

Does this happen for you on all 4 books? Change the id in the url to one of the other books.

Can you post the td that contains the author output? Maybe even post what one of your author arrays looks like in the data.php file.

Oh y'all are right, I didn't see that the authors went down to the line below........

That makes sense. Glad you figured it out.
