Convert a flat array to a delimited string [duplicate]

There is a simple function called implode.

$string = implode(';', $array); 

You should use the implode function.

For example, implode(' ',$tags); will place a space between each item in the array.

If any one do not want to use implode so you can also use following function:

function my_implode($separator,$array){ $temp = ''; foreach($array as $key=>$item){ $temp .= $item; if($key != sizeof($array)-1){ $temp .= $separator ; } }//end of the foreach loop return $temp; }//end of the function $array = array("One", "Two", "Three","Four"); $str = my_implode('-',$array); echo $str; 

There is also an function join which is an alias of implode.

Using implode

$array_items = ['one','two','three','four']; $string_from_array = implode(',', $array_items); echo $string_from_array; //output: one,two,three,four 

Using join (alias of implode)

$array_items = ['one','two','three','four']; $string_from_array = join(',', $array_items); echo $string_from_array; //output: one,two,three,four
