The implode function is used to "join elements of an array with a string".

The implode() function returns a string from elements of an array. It takes an array of strings and joins them together into one string.

which means "Array to String conversion".

implode (separator , array);

example:

<?php

$array = ("s","h","a","n","a","v","a","s");

$ats = implode ("-",$array);

print $ats;

?>

result;

s-h-a-n-a-v-a-s

Explode() Function ex:

The explode function is used to "Split a string by a specified string into pieces i.e. it breaks a string into an array".

which means "String to Array conversion".

Syntax:explode (separator,string,limit)

<?php

$sta = "This is Shanavas";

print_r(explode(" ",$sta));

?>
