Merge array items into string

Question

How do I merge all the array items into a single string?

Answer 1

Try this from the PHP manual (implode):

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

    echo $comma_separated; // lastname, email, and phone

    // Empty string when using an empty array:
    var_dump(implode('hello', array())); // string(0) ""
?>

Answer 2

foreach($array as $key => $value) {

$string .= $value .' ';

}

Answer 3

You can use join. It's an alias for implode, and in my opinion more readable:

$fruits = array('apples', 'pears', 'bananas');
echo join(',', $fruits);

Answer 4

join(" -- ", Array("a", "b")) == "a -- b"

actually join is an alias for the implode function.

Answer 5

$array1 = array(
    "one",
    "two",
)
$array2 = array(
    "three",
    "four",
)
$finalarr = array_merge($array1, $array2);
$finalarr = implode(",", $finalarr);

will produce this one,two,three,four

Answer 6

$array= array( "Alfred Hitchcock", "Stanley Kubrick", "Martin Scorsese", "Fritz Lang" );
$string="";

foreach ( $tempas $array) {
  $string=$string.",".$temp;
}
