The only problem I wanted to avoid is the separator appearing
where it is obviously not needed by the reader. (i) At the left
of the first link on each line and (ii) At the right of the last
link on each line. Considering the uncertain cross browser
operation of so many attempted solutions to this problem I have
decided to give up for now. By having no separators at all! This
is cross browser, cross platform easily done at least.

I know the little coloured rectangles are all the rage, for my
own home site stuff, I can indulge my minimilist whims and not
even have vertical separators....

Your php stuff is beyond me at the moment. But good for you...
