Note Submitter: cristiano at galvao dot pro dot br ---- Hi! I use this function to convert an array into a string. Note that to convert back into array (flat array), we can use standard PHP split function. Here is: <?php /*--- Function ARRAY TO STRING --- * * Description: Turns an array into a concatenated string * Arguments: Flat or multidimensional array and optional separator * Example: (array(1,2,3,array('x','yz'),4),"-") ---> "1-2-3-x-yz-4" * * Author: Cristiano Galvão * Contact: cristiano@galvao.pro.br * About: http://www.galvao.pro.br * */ function array_to_string( $array, $separator = NULL ) { if( is_array( $array ) ) { foreach( $array as $element ) { $string .= array_to_string( $element, $separator ) . $separator; } $string = substr( $string, 0, strlen( $string ) - strlen( $separator ) ); } else { $string = $array; } return $string; } ?>
