Implode() Function
 
The implode function is used to "join elements of an array with a string".
 
The implode() function returns a string from elements of an array. It takes an array of strings
and joins them together into one string using a delimiter (string to be used between the
pieces) of your choice. 
 
The implode function in PHP is easily remembered as "array to string", which simply means
that it takes an array and returns a string. It rejoins any array elements and returns the
resulting string, which may be put in a variable.
 
Suppose you have an array like this $arr = Array ("A","E","I","O","U");
 
and you wish to combine it into a string, by putting the separator '-' between each element of
the array.
 
How to do that?
 
$str = implode("-",$arr);
 
So your resulting string variable $str will be contain:
 
A-E-I-O-U
 
Syntax
 
implode (separator , array)

Explode() Function
 
The explode function is used to "Split a string by a speci ed string into pieces i.e. it breaks a
string into an array".
 
The explode function in PHP allows us to break a string into smaller text with each break
occurring at the same symbol. This symbol is known as the delimiter. Using theexplode
command we will create an array from a string. The explode() function breaks a string into an
array, but the implode function returns a string from the elements of an array.
 
For example you have a string
 
$str="A E I O U";
 
now you want to make each name as an element of an array and access it individually so what
you do:
 
$arr = explode(",", $str);
 
means : we have made pieces of string $text based on separator ','
 
and put the resulting array in variable $arr
 
So I used print_r ($arr); and the results are the following:
 
Array(
[0] => A
[1] => E
[2] => I
[3] => O
[4] => U
)
 
which is equal to:
