PHP: Making an array of strings inside foreach then add all the result of arrays of strings

Question

Problem: Hi, Im having a hard time making a foreach in PHP, that has arrays of strings, then I will add all those strings in a one single string or store in a single variable.

Purpose: My purpose for this is because I want to make an echo substr() of the total of all strings which is for my other reasons.

What I've done so far:

<?php 

    $values = array();

    foreach ($acknowledgementspecifics as $specifics);
    {
    ?>  

    <?php $values = array[]("".$specifics->feetype_name." (".$specifics->month_date.") ".$specifics->payment_amount.", "); ?>

    <?php
     }

// (Combine all Arrays)

// $totalvalue = (total of all combined strings);
?>

Two issues:

The ; at the end of the foreach line will create a loop without any body. The part that follows it is not part of the foreach body. So remove the ;.
The syntax to append to an array is not $values = array[]( ... ), but $values[] = ...

After those fixes, you will have the array of strings, which you then need to concatenate to one string, which you can do with implode. You need to provide a delimiter to separate the strings (e.g. \n or <br>):

$values = array();
foreach ($acknowledgementspecifics as $specifics) {
    $values[] = $specifics->feetype_name . " (".
                $specifics->month_date . ") ".
                $specifics->payment_amount . ", "; 
}
// (Combine all Arrays)
$totalvalue = implode("\n", $values);

if you want to store all values in a string in a forecah loop, ignore use of array, use (.=) operator. now you can use use substr() function. see the code - use substr() function

<?php 
    $values = "";
    foreach ($acknowledgementspecifics as $specifics){
        $values. = "".$specifics->feetype_name." (".$specifics->month_date.") ".$specifics->payment_amount.", ";
    }

    $totalvalue=$values; // (All Values)
//now you can use substr()
?>

To add the string to the array...

$values[] = $specifics->feetype_name
       ." (".$specifics->month_date.") "
       .$specifics->payment_amount;

And to add them together use either implode(',', $values) or just implode($values)
