H-
Thanks to those that emailed.
$query = "tree, bird, nest, ";
$new = substr($query,0,2);
Doesn't seem to work. It returns "tr".
I think maybe I should also mention that to get this variable I have an
array that is placed through a for loop
// file://loop through array
for($i = 0;$i <$num;$i++){
print $fields[$i] . "<br>";
$query .= "$fields[$i], ";
}
That's where I get $query from. It's been returned from a multiple
select via a web form.
I want to format this selected data into a query string so I can plug it
into a SQL statement.
Thanks for the input and if any one has any thoughts on the subject
appreciate the assistance.
