Implode and Explode in PHP

Implode in PHP

The implode() function is used to join elements of an array with a string. It simply returns a string from elements of an array. It takes an array of strings and joins them together into one string using a delimiter of your choice.

This implode() functions is also called as “array to string” which simply means that it takes an array and returns a string. It rejoins an array element and returns the resulting string which may be put in a variable.

Syntax:

implode(separator, array);

Explode in PHP

The explode() function is used to split a string by a specified string into pieces. It breaks a string into an array. In PHP, it allows us to break a string into smaller text with each break occurring at the same symbol. This symbol is known as delimiter.
