    This is great!!!!! expecially if you need to store serialized multidimensional array into database!

    thank's!

    why there is $return = ''; as very first line of the function ..... this code will never give yu the result....but still i Appriciate your work helped me a lot thanx

    for storing into database look at serialize(), base64encode()

    this code will give a result; "$return" is not the same as "return"

    What about: function implode_with_key($assoc, $inglue = ':') {     if(is_array($assoc) && count($assoc)>0)     {         foreach ($assoc as $tk => $tv)         {             $return[] = $tk . $inglue . $tv;         }         return implode(';', $return);     }     return false; }

    I changed the inglue from , to =>. Makes more sense to me.

    function explode_with_key($assoc, $indelimiter = '=', $outdelimiter = '|') {     $return = [];     $assoc = explode($outdelimiter, $assoc);     foreach ($assoc as $ts) {         list($key, $value) = explode($indelimiter, $ts);         $return[$key] = $value;     }     return $return; }
