PHP: Array to string? Array of Key/value pairs into simple value list?

Question

I am sure this is something simple, but I can't find it anywhere:

How can I change an array like this:

{ [0]=> string(3) "674" [1]=> string(3) "675" [2]=> string(3) "676" [3]=> string(3) "677" }

into a simple one like this:

(674,675,676,677)

For use in another SQL (IN) query?

I have tried imploding and it fails.

$myarray_value = implode( ',', $myarray );

nemo: it DOES seem to be a dupe, thanks! That solved my problem. — Stephen, Sep 20 '13 at 18:22
It should work, probably you have made any mistake or post the array that you are `var_dump`ing. — The Alpha, Sep 20 '13 at 18:23
nemo: you should post your comment as the answer and I will accept it as correct. Thanks again for finding it. — Stephen, Sep 20 '13 at 20:14

What you are looking at is in JSON format, so just do this:

$string = '{ [0]=> string(3) "674" [1]=> string(3) "675" [2]=> string(3) "676" [3]=> string(3) "677" }';
$array = json_decode($string);
print_r($array);

The string in your answer is the result of `var_dump($array)` and not a `json` string. – The Alpha Sep 20 '13 at 18:21
