Laravel array to string conversion

Question

I want to convert my array to comma separated string.

my array

array:2 [
  0 => array:1 [
    "name" => "streaming"
  ]
  1 => array:1 [
    "name" => "ladies bag"
  ]
]

I want result as streaming,ladies bag

PHP 101 - `$myString = implode(',', array_column($myArray, 'name'));` — Mark Baker, Mar 21 '16 at 14:52

Since these look like Laravel collections converted to arrays, I would suggest using the inbuilt implode() method.

As per the docs:

$collection = collect([
    ['account_id' => 1, 'product' => 'Desk'],
    ['account_id' => 2, 'product' => 'Chair'],
]);

$collection->implode('product', ', ');

// Desk, Chair

Reference: https://laravel.com/docs/master/collections#method-implode

However, if they're ordinary arrays, and since it's not a single array, you'd have to write a foreach or flatten it with array_column() before running PHP's ordinary implode() function.

A side note: it can be also used on Fluent/Eloquent collections. e.g.: $this->student->find(auth()->user()->id)->get()->studentFavouriteSubjects()->implode('subject_id', ', '); — Jeffz, Jul 02 '19 at 00:55

maybe a little simpler like that

$string=implode(",",$your_array);

Use a foreach loop twice to segregate the array and use substr to remove the last character

$string = '';

foreach($your_array as $a)
{    
    foreach($a as $b=>$c)
    {
        $string .= $c.',';
    }
}

$solution = substr($string,0,-1);

print_r($solution);

U could try a simple foreach and add a comma value after every iteration.

 $string='';
 foreach ($your_array as $value){
    $string .=  $value.',';
 }

Not only that solution will always have a trailing comma, the OP wants to flatten a multidimensional array – Fabio Antunes Mar 21 '16 at 16:17
