implode — Join array elements with a string
Description
string implode ( string $glue , array $pieces )
string implode ( array $pieces )
Join array elements with a glue string.
Note:
implode() can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order. For consistency with explode(), however, it may be less confusing to use the documented order of arguments.
Parameters
-
glue -
Defaults to an empty string.
-
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 element.
Examples
Example #1 implode() 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) ""
?> Notes
Note: This function is binary-safe.
