PHP implode is exploding my mind!!!!!!

What i want to do: pull all forum ids having a specific parent forum, and place them in a string ( $newsfeedforumids ) so they can be added to end of external.php lilke this:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------




My query:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Then I plug the $newsfeedforumids onto the end of external.php llike so:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



however there's 14 different forum ids supposed to be queried, and all i get attached to the end of the url is the first result as so:
bburl/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=7,7

What am i doing wrong?

You are misunderstanding what mysql_fetch_array() does. This fetches one row of the result set as an array, not the entire result set. You need a 'while' loop to fetch the results row by row to build your array of forumids.

Yes there would be if you want to be fully integrated. Use vBulletins $db->fetch_array. ;)
