 * I need to list my categories in an array like so:
 * “Category 1”, “Category 2”, “Category 3”, “Category 4”
 * Can anyone provide a piece of code that might help? I saw this post:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/222394?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/222394?replies=3)
 * But it wasn’t quite what I was looking for.
 * Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

       <?php
       //display all categories that have at least one post, separate each category with comma+space, put each category in quotes
       $categories=get_categories();
       if ($categories) {
       $cat_count =count($categories);
       $output = '';
       foreach($categories as $category) {
           if ($category->count > 1) {
           $output .= '"<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a>", ';
       }
       }
       }
       echo '<p>' . substr($output, 0, -2) . '</p>';  // display all but the last comma
       ?>
       ```
