implode - Join array elements with a string
SYNOPSIS
string implode (string $glue, array $pieces)
DESCRIPTION
string implode (array $pieces)
Join array elements with a $glue string.
Note
implode(3) can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order. For consistency with explode(3), however, it may be
less confusing to use the documented order of arguments.
PARAMETERS
o $glue
- Defaults to an empty string.
o $pieces
- The array of strings to implode.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a string containing a string representation of all the array elements in the same order, with the glue string between each ele-
ment.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
implode(3) example
<?php
$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);
echo $comma_separated; // lastname,email,phone
// Empty string when using an empty array:
var_dump(implode('hello', array())); // string(0) ""
?>
