Re: Array to String

For a one dimensional array, use the implode() function:

[php]
$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);
echo $comma_separated; // lastname,email,phone
[/php]

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
function displayString($arrayText) {
	if (count($alertArr) > 0) {
		$string = '';
		foreach ($arrayTextas $val) {
			$string .= $val."<br />\n";
		}
		return $string;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}
function displayString($arrayText) {
	if (count($alertArr) > 0) {
		$string = '';
		foreach ($arrayTextas $val) {
			$string .= $val."<br />\n";
		}
		return $string;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

Re: Array to String

Implode function does the trick for me. Here an example that I followed:
<?php
$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);
echo $comma_separated; // lastname,email,phone
?>

Re: Array to String

You must use foreach()

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
foreach($your_array as $key->$value){
	echo "\$key = ".$key." and \$value = ".$value;
}
foreach($your_array as $key->$value){
	echo "\$key = ".$key." and \$value = ".$value;
}

Re: Array to String

i think you find this function helpfull aswell.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$data = array('foo'=>'bar',
              'baz'=>'boom',
              'cow'=>'milk',
              'php'=>'hypertext processor');
 
echo http_build_query($data);
 
will result in:
foo=bar&baz=boom&cow=milk&php=hypertext+processor
$data = array('foo'=>'bar',
              'baz'=>'boom',
              'cow'=>'milk',
              'php'=>'hypertext processor');

echo http_build_query($data);

Not a string but simple and readable

use print_r

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$data = array('foo'=>'bar',
                        'baz'=>'boom',
                        'cow'=>'milk',
                        'php'=>'hypertext processor');
          echo "<pre>";
          echo print_r($data);
          echo "</pre>";
 
Output :
 
Array
(
       [foo] => bar
       [baz] => boom
       [cow] => milk
       [php] => hypertext processor
)
$data = array('foo'=>'bar',
                        'baz'=>'boom',
                        'cow'=>'milk',
                        'php'=>'hypertext processor');
          echo "<pre>";
          echo print_r($data);
          echo "</pre>";

Output :

Array
(
       [foo] => bar
       [baz] => boom
       [cow] => milk
       [php] => hypertext processor
)
