The implode() is a builtin function in PHP and is used to join the elements of an array. implode() is an alias for PHP | join() function and works exactly same as that of join() function. If we have an array of elements, we can use the implode() function to join them all to form one string.
Answer: Use the JavaScript split() method If you want to explode or split a string from a certain character or separator you can use the JavaScript split() method. The following example will show you how to split a string at each blank space. The returned value will be an array, containing the splitted values.
join() The join() method creates and returns a new string by concatenating all of the elements in an array (or an array-like object), separated by commas or a specified separator string. If the array has only one item, then that item will be returned without using the separator.
You can do this in plain JavaScript, use Array.prototype.join:
arrayName.join(delimiter);
Like This:
[1,2,3,4].join('; ')
Array.join is what you need, but if you like, the friendly people at phpjs.org have created implode for you.
Then some slightly off topic ranting. As @jon_darkstar alreadt pointed out, jQuery is JavaScript and not vice versa. You don't need to know JavaScript to be able to understand how to use jQuery, but it certainly doesn't hurt and once you begin to appreciate reusability or start looking at the bigger picture you absolutely need to learn it.
For future reference, if you want to mimic the behaviour of PHP's implode() when no delimiter is specified (literally just join the pieces together), you need to pass an empty string into Javascript's join() otherwise it defaults to using commas as delimiters:
var bits = ['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'];
alert(bits.join()); // H,e,l,l,o, ,W,o,r,l,d
alert(bits.join('')); // Hello World
