it should be noted that an array with one or no elements works fine. for example:

<?php
    $a1
= array("1","2","3");
   
$a2 = array("a");
   
$a3 = array();

        echo

"a1 is: '".implode("','",$a1)."'<br>";
    echo
"a2 is: '".implode("','",$a2)."'<br>";
    echo
"a3 is: '".implode("','",$a3)."'<br>";
?>

will produce:
===========
a1 is: '1','2','3'
a2 is: 'a'
a3 is: ''

Sometimes it's necessary to add a string not just between the items, but before or after too, and proper handling of zero items is also needed.
In this case, simply prepending/appending the separator next to implode() is not enough, so I made this little helper function.

<?phpfunction wrap_implode( $array, $before = '', $after = '', $separator = '' ){
  if( !
$array )  return '';
  return
$before . implode("{$after}{$separator}{$before}", $array ) . $after;
}

echo

wrap_implode(['path','to','file.php'], '/');
// "/path/to/file.php"$pattern = '#'. wrap_implode([4,2,2], '\d{', '}', '[-.]') .'#';
echo
$pattern, "\n"// #\d{4}[-.]\d{2}[-.]\d{2}#
echo preg_replace( $pattern, '[REDACTED]', 'The UFO appeared between 2012-12-24 and 2013.01.06 every night.');
// 'The UFO appeared between [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] every night.echo wrap_implode(['line','by','line'], '<b>', '</b>', '<br>  ');
// <b>line</b><br>  <b>by</b><br>  <b>line</b>echo wrap_implode( ['<a href="">Menu Item 1</a>', '<a href="">Menu Item 2</a>',],
 
"<li>", "</li>\n",
 
"<li> | </li>\n",
);
/*
<li><a href="">Link1</a></li>
<li> | </li>
<li><a href="">Link2</a></li>
*/
?>

It's not obvious from the samples, if/how associative arrays are handled. The "implode" function acts on the array "values", disregarding any keys:

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);$a = array( 'one','two','three' );
$b = array( '1st' => 'four', 'five', '3rd' => 'six' );

echo

implode( ',', $a ),'/', implode( ',', $b );
?>

outputs:
one,two,three/four,five,six

Can also be used for building tags or complex lists, like the following:

<?php

$elements

= array('a', 'b', 'c');

echo

"<ul><li>" . implode("</li><li>", $elements) . "</li></ul>";?>

This is just an example, you can create a lot more just finding the right glue! ;)

If you want to implode an array as key-value pairs, this method comes in handy.
The third parameter is the symbol to be used between key and value.

<?php
function mapped_implode($glue, $array, $symbol = '=') {
    return
implode($glue, array_map(
            function(
$k, $v) use($symbol) {
                return
$k . $symbol . $v;
            },
           
array_keys($array),
           
array_values($array)
            )
        );
}
$arr = [
   
'x'=> 5,
   
'y'=> 7,
   
'z'=> 99,
   
'hello' => 'World',
   
7 => 'Foo',
];

echo

mapped_implode(', ', $arr, ' is ');// output: x is 5, y is 7, z is 99, hello is World, 7 is Foo?>

It might be worthwhile noting that the array supplied to implode() can contain objects, provided the objects implement the __toString() method.

Example:
<?phpclass Foo
{
    protected
$title;

    public function

__construct($title)
    {
       
$this->title = $title;
    }

    public function

__toString()
    {
        return
$this->title;
    }
}
$array = [
    new
Foo('foo'),
    new
Foo('bar'),
    new
Foo('qux')
];

echo

implode('; ', $array);
?>

will output:

foo; bar; qux

If you want to implode an array of booleans, you will get a strange result:
<?php
var_dump
(implode('',array(true, true, false, false, true)));
?>

Output:
string(3) "111"

TRUE became "1", FALSE became nothing.

It may be worth noting that if you accidentally call implode on a string rather than an array, you do NOT get your string back, you get NULL:
<?php
var_dump
(implode(':', 'xxxxx'));
?>
returns
NULL

This threw me for a little while.

Even handier if you use the following:

<?php
$id_nums
= array(1,6,12,18,24); $id_nums = implode(", ", $id_nums); $sqlquery = "Select name,email,phone from usertable where user_id IN ($id_nums)"; // $sqlquery becomes "Select name,email,phone from usertable where user_id IN (1,6,12,18,24)"
?>

Be sure to escape/sanitize/use prepared statements if you get the ids from users.

null values are imploded too. You can use array_filter() to sort out null values.

<?php
$ar
= array("hello", null, "world");
print(
implode(',', $ar)); // hello,,world
print(implode(',', array_filter($ar, function($v){ return $v !== null; }))); // hello,world
?>

If you want to use a key inside array:

Example:
$arr=array(
array("id" => 1,"name" => "Test1"),
array("id" => 2,"name" => "Test2"),
);

echo implode_key(",",$arr, "name");
OUTPUT: Test1, Test2

function implode_key($glue, $arr, $key){
    $arr2=array();
    foreach($arr as $f){
        if(!isset($f[$key])) continue;
        $arr2[]=$f[$key];
    }
    return implode($glue, $arr2);
}

It is possible for an array to have numeric values, as well as string values. Implode will convert all numeric array elements to strings.

<?php
$test
=implode(["one",2,3,"four",5.67]);
echo
$test;
//outputs: "one23four5.67"
?>

There is no mention of behavior on a empty array, so I tried it and here's the result:

<?php
$ar
= array();
$result = implode(',', $ar);  // Comma arbitrarily applied as the separator
$is_result_empty = empty($result);
?>

$result:
$is_result_empty: 1

In other words, an empty string is the result.
