String to Array and Back

Question

I have a string, how do I convert it to an array?

After manipulating that array, how do I again make it into a string?

Do strings in PHP behave the same way

Answer 1

explode ( string $delimiter , string $string [, int $limit ] )

... and after changes ...

implode ( string $glue , array $pieces )

check out http://php.net/explode
and http://php.net/implode

You can also use split or join which, as far as I know, support regex
