I guess I have to post this as an answer?

You'd have to check the length of the array, then insert conditional code that inserts 'and' before the end of the array is reached.

ex.

$names = array('paul', 'david', 'lisa');
$arr_length = count($names); //gets the length of the array
$c = 0; //counter

echo "<p>Hello ";
foreach($names as $name) {
  if ($c == ($arr_length - 1)) {
    echo " and ";
  }
  echo "$name ";
  $c++;
}

echo "</p>";
