You can easily converte between arrays and strings, i.e.. u can ‘ve a sentence with each word of it in an array element!

Convert string into array:

u can create an array that contains the contents of a string by using this statement:

$array_name= explode(“s”,String);

• s: Is the character to use to divide the string
• String: string itself

Example:

<?php
$string_variable= “Hi:and:welcome:to:my:blog”;
$array_string = explode (“:”,$string_variable);

echo “Now lets print our new array <br>”;
echo “<pre>”;
print_r($array_string );
echo “</pre>”;
?>

The output:

Now lets print our new array

Array
(
    [0] => Hi
    [1] => and
    [2] => welcome
    [3] => to
    [4] => my
    [5] => blog
)

Convert array into a string:

Conversely, u can convert an array into string using:

$variable_name= implode (“s”,$array_name);

s: seprating the text from each array element and then store the string the $variable_name

Example:

<?php

$array_to_be_string= array (“hi”, “and”, “welcome”, “to”, “my”, “blog”);
$string_array= implode (” “,$array_to_be_string);

echo “The new string is <br>”, $string_array;
?>
The output:

The new string is
hi and welcome to my blog

Note: both emplode and implode doensn’t affect the input to the statmentm it just read it !
