implode and show key

[AE117]

implode(', ', $value);

 

with that function in php is there a way to have it show the key instead of the value. I havnt found anything about that and I am wondering if anyone else has.

 

I have an array and in the array I can echo the key and then the value, the reason I put the implode is becuase it will show it as such

 

1, 2, 3, 4 etc  but I want the keys  not the values to show.

by using implode it will no longer be an array and it wont have keys for each value. It'll be a long string.  explode will turn it into an array.

I seem to be making a habit of solving my own problems but I do hope that everyone else that comes across my problems can find it here the easy way instead of my way.

 

to implode and array to show the keys only

 

    function implode_with_key($assoc,$inglue='>',$outglue=', '){
        $return='';
        foreach($assoc as $tk=>$tv){
            $return.=$outglue.$tk;
        }
        return substr($return,strlen($outglue));
    }

 

nothing in side that needs to be changed. to echo

 

<?php
echo implode_with_key($yourarray);
?>

Yes that was to my understanding and apparently there are creative ways to get around such a deli ma.

Yes it is I thought there was a topic solved button on this forum but I can seem to locate it. I have been staring at my monitors for far too long.
