it should be noted that an array with one or no elements works fine. for example:
<?php
$a1 = array("1","2","3");
$a2 = array("a");
$a3 = array();
echo "a1 is: '".implode("','",$a1)."'<br>";
echo "a2 is: '".implode("','",$a2)."'<br>";
echo "a3 is: '".implode("','",$a3)."'<br>";
?>
will produce:
===========
a1 is: '1','2','3'
a2 is: 'a'
a3 is: ''

implode
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
implode — 用字符串连接数组元素
说明
implode(string
$separator, array $array): string替代写法（不支持命名参数）：
implode(array
$array): string遗留写法（从 PHP 7.4.0 起废弃，从 PHP 8.0.0 中移除）：
implode(array
$array, string $separator): string
用一个 separator 字符串连接数组元素。
参数
-
separator -
可选。默认为空字符串。
-
array -
要使用字符串连接的数组。
返回值
返回一个包含所有数组元素并且顺序相同的字符串， 每个元素之间有 separator 分隔。
更新日志
| 版本 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 |
在 array 之后传递 separator 已不再支持。
|
| 7.4.0 |
在 array 之后传递 separator （即：使用遗留写法）已被废弃。
|
范例
示例 #1 implode() 例子
<?php
$array = ['lastname', 'email', 'phone'];
var_dump(implode(",", $array)); // string(20) "lastname,email,phone"
// Empty string when using an empty array:
var_dump(implode('hello', [])); // string(0) ""
// The separator is optional:
var_dump(implode(['a', 'b', 'c'])); // string(3) "abc"
?>
注释
注意: 此函数可安全用于二进制对象。

It's not obvious from the samples, if/how associative arrays are handled. The "implode" function acts on the array "values", disregarding any keys:
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
$a = array( 'one','two','three' );
$b = array( '1st' => 'four', 'five', '3rd' => 'six' );
echo implode( ',', $a ),'/', implode( ',', $b );
?>
outputs:
one,two,three/four,five,six

Can also be used for building tags or complex lists, like the following:
<?php
$elements = array('a', 'b', 'c');
echo "<ul><li>" . implode("</li><li>", $elements) . "</li></ul>";
?>
This is just an example, you can create a lot more just finding the right glue! ;)

It might be worthwhile noting that the array supplied to implode() can contain objects, provided the objects implement the __toString() method.
Example:
<?php
class Foo
{
protected $title;
public function __construct($title)
{
$this->title = $title;
}
public function __toString()
{
return $this->title;
}
}
$array = [
new Foo('foo'),
new Foo('bar'),
new Foo('qux')
];
echo implode('; ', $array);
?>
will output:
foo; bar; qux

If you want to implode an array of booleans, you will get a strange result:
<?php
var_dump(implode('',array(true, true, false, false, true)));
?>
Output:
string(3) "111"
TRUE became "1", FALSE became nothing.

If you want to implode an array as key-value pairs, this method comes in handy.
The third parameter is the symbol to be used between key and value.
<?php
function mapped_implode($glue, $array, $symbol = '=') {
return implode($glue, array_map(
function($k, $v) use($symbol) {
return $k . $symbol . $v;
},
array_keys($array),
array_values($array)
)
);
}
$arr = [
'x'=> 5,
'y'=> 7,
'z'=> 99,
'hello' => 'World',
7 => 'Foo',
];
echo mapped_implode(', ', $arr, ' is ');
// output: x is 5, y is 7, z is 99, hello is World, 7 is Foo
?>

It may be worth noting that if you accidentally call implode on a string rather than an array, you do NOT get your string back, you get NULL:
<?php
var_dump(implode(':', 'xxxxx'));
?>
returns
NULL
This threw me for a little while.

Even handier if you use the following:
<?php
$id_nums = array(1,6,12,18,24);
$id_nums = implode(", ", $id_nums);
$sqlquery = "Select name,email,phone from usertable where user_id IN ($id_nums)";
// $sqlquery becomes "Select name,email,phone from usertable where user_id IN (1,6,12,18,24)"
?>
Be sure to escape/sanitize/use prepared statements if you get the ids from users.

null values are imploded too. You can use array_filter() to sort out null values.
<?php
$ar = array("hello", null, "world");
print(implode(',', $ar)); // hello,,world
print(implode(',', array_filter($ar, function($v){ return $v !== null; }))); // hello,world
?>

Sometimes it's necessary to add a string not just between the items, but before or after too, and proper handling of zero items is also needed.
In this case, simply prepending/appending the separator next to implode() is not enough, so I made this little helper function.
<?php
function wrap_implode( $array, $before = '', $after = '', $separator = '' ){
if( ! $array ) return '';
return $before . implode("{$after}{$separator}{$before}", $array ) . $after;
}
echo wrap_implode(['path','to','file.php'], '/');
// "/path/to/file.php"
$pattern = '#'. wrap_implode([4,2,2], '\d{', '}', '[-.]') .'#';
echo $pattern, "\n"; // #\d{4}[-.]\d{2}[-.]\d{2}#
echo preg_replace( $pattern, '[REDACTED]', 'The UFO appeared between 2012-12-24 and 2013.01.06 every night.');
// 'The UFO appeared between [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] every night.
echo wrap_implode(['line','by','line'], '<b>', '</b>', '<br> ');
// <b>line</b><br> <b>by</b><br> <b>line</b>
echo wrap_implode( ['<a href="">Menu Item 1</a>', '<a href="">Menu Item 2</a>',],
"<li>", "</li>\n",
"<li> | </li>\n",
);
/*
<li><a href="">Link1</a></li>
<li> | </li>
<li><a href="">Link2</a></li>
*/
?>

If you want to use a key inside array:
Example:
$arr=array(
array("id" => 1,"name" => "Test1"),
array("id" => 2,"name" => "Test2"),
);
echo implode_key(",",$arr, "name");
OUTPUT: Test1, Test2
function implode_key($glue, $arr, $key){
$arr2=array();
foreach($arr as $f){
if(!isset($f[$key])) continue;
$arr2[]=$f[$key];
}
return implode($glue, $arr2);
}

It is possible for an array to have numeric values, as well as string values. Implode will convert all numeric array elements to strings.
<?php
$test=implode(["one",2,3,"four",5.67]);
echo $test;
//outputs: "one23four5.67"
?>

There is no mention of behavior on a empty array, so I tried it and here's the result:
<?php
$ar = array();
$result = implode(',', $ar); // Comma arbitrarily applied as the separator
$is_result_empty = empty($result);
?>
$result:
$is_result_empty: 1
In other words, an empty string is the result.

<?php
* Join pieces with a string recursively.
*
* @param mixed $glue String between pairs(glue) or an array pair's glue and key/value glue or $pieces.

function double_implode($glue, iterable $pieces = null): string
{
$glue2 = null;
if ($pieces === null) {
$pieces = $glue;
$glue = '';
