array to string

Just trying to convert an array to string before writing the whole thing back out to a file. (Trying to do a simple database-less database, using text files). $fcontents = file($name.".db"); // THE ENTIRE TABLE $fcontents[$update] = $updatedstring; // THE ROW TO BE UPDATED $fp = fopen($name.".db", "w+"); But before the next line, I need to convert $fcontents to a string, else just "Array" gets written to the text file. I just can't seem to find the sure-to-be simple command to do this on php.net or phpbuilder.com, etc. Any ideas? fwrite($fp,$fcontents); fclose($fp); Thanks. ...Rene --- Rene Fournier renefournier@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
