You want the implode() function using a line like this:

$recipients = implode(', ', $email_addresses);

This will create a string of all the values in each element of the
$email_addresses array, separated by a comma and a space (of course you
can change this to anything you want). You can find more information
about the function here:

As far as I'm aware, any standards compliant mail server will just
ignore the extra whitespace so you are free to insert spaces if you so
desire.
