    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to get my post tags as a php variable. What I want is to have them be something like this: $posttags = tag1&tag2&tag3&tag4

    I need the ampersands between the tags because I am putting them into a Google search query URL. I’m able to echo the string that I want using the code below, but how do I store it as a variable? Thanks for any help you can provide!

    $posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
echo $tag->name . '&'; } }

    $posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
$tags=$tags. $tag->name . '&'; }
$posttags=substr($tags,0,-1);
}

    You could also build an array and join the values together using implode ….

    $string = array();
$tags = get_the_tags();
if( $tags ) {
	foreach( $tags as $tag ) {
		$string[] = $tag->name;
	}
	//echo implode( '&' , $string ); // Echo string
	//$my_var = implode( '&' , $string ); // Store in var
}

    Just to throw another approach out there…
