Use this code to resolve your problem.

  //Connect to database
  mysql_connect("localhost","user","password") or die(mysql_error());
  mysql_select_db("db") or die(mysql_error()); 
  $sql = "SELECT email FROM members";  
  $res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
  while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res) )   
  {  
      $area .= $row['email']. ", ";
  }

  // read the list of emails from the file.
  $email_list = explode(',', $area);

  // count how many emails there are.
  $total_emails = count($email_list);

  // go through the list and trim off the newline character.
  for ($counter=0; $counter<$total_emails; $counter++)
  {
      $email_list[$counter] = trim($email_list[$counter]);
  }
  $to = $email_list;
  echo $to;
