How to convert array to a string using methods other than JSON?

Question

What is a function in PHP used to convert array to string, other than using JSON?

I know there is a function that directly does like JSON. I just don\'t remember.

Answer 1

You are looking for serialize(). Here is an example:

$array = array('foo', 'bar');

//Array to String
$string = serialize($array);

//String to array
$array = unserialize($string);
