[PHP] stripping of the last character

2005-04-18 Thread Ross 
I have a large group of email addesses serperated by commas. I need to trim 
off the very last comma

$recipients = [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],


Also how would I add a space after every comma? to give

[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]


many thanks,

Ross
