Answer 1

Yes, use the extract method.

From the docs:

 "blue",
                   "size"  => "medium",
                   "shape" => "sphere");
extract($var_array);

echo "$color, $size, $shape";

?>

The above example will output:

blue, large, sphere

Or do you want to glue your elements together? Then try implode:

$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);

Will print:

"lastname, email, phone"
