it should be noted that an array with one or no elements works fine. for example:
<?php
$a1 = array("1","2","3");
$a2 = array("a");
$a3 = array();
echo "a1 is: '".implode("','",$a1)."'<br>";
echo "a2 is: '".implode("','",$a2)."'<br>";
echo "a3 is: '".implode("','",$a3)."'<br>";
?>
will produce:
===========
a1 is: '1','2','3'
a2 is: 'a'
a3 is: ''
implode
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
implode — Junta elementos de uma matriz em uma string
Descrição
string implode
( string
$glue
, array $pieces
)Retorna uma string contendo os elementos da matriz na mesma ordem com uma ligação entre cada elemento.
Exemplo #1 implode() exemplo
<?php
$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);
print $comma_separated; // lastname,email,phone
?>
Nota:
implode() pode, por razões históricas, aceitar seus parâmetros nas duas ordens. Para consistência com explode(), entretando, ela pode ser menos confusa por usar a ordem documentada dos argumentos.
Nota:
Apartir do PHP 4.3.0, o parametro glue da função implode() é opcional e seu padrão é uma string em branco(''). Este não é o uso preferido de implode(). Nós recomendamos sempre usar dois parametros para compatibilidade com versões anteriores.

function implode_r($glue,$arr){

foreach($arr as $a){
$ret_str .= (is_array($a)) ? implode_r($glue,$a) : "," . $a;

Also quite handy in INSERT statements:
<?php
// array containing data
$array = array(
"name" => "John",
"surname" => "Doe",
"email" => "j.doe@intelligence.gov"
);
// build query...
$sql = "INSERT INTO table";
// implode keys of $array...
$sql .= " (`".implode("`, `", array_keys($array))."`)";
// implode values of $array...
$sql .= " VALUES ('".implode("', '", $array)."') ";
// execute query...
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Even handier if you use the following:
<?php
$id_nums = array(1,6,12,18,24);
$id_nums = implode(", ", $id_nums);
$sqlquery = "Select name,email,phone from usertable where user_id IN ($id_nums)";
// $sqlquery becomes "Select name,email,phone from usertable where user_id IN (1,6,12,18,24)"
?>

If you want to implode an array of booleans, you will get a strange result:
<?php
var_dump(implode('',array(true, true, false, false, true)));
?>
Output:
string(3) "111"
TRUE became "1", FALSE became nothing.

Can also be used for building tags or complex lists, like the following:
<?php
$elements = array('a', 'b', 'c');
echo "<ul><li>" . implode("</li><li>", $elements) . "</li></ul>";
?>
This is just an example, you can create a lot more just finding the right glue! ;)

Implode with an unset array will made a warning and fail, but is ok with an empty array.
So if you don't trust the content of the array, allways initialize it before :
$param = array();
[...]
echo implode('&', $param);

It may be worth noting that if you accidentally call implode on a string rather than an array, you do NOT get your string back, you get NULL:
<?php
var_dump(implode(':', 'xxxxx'));
?>
returns
NULL
This threw me for a little while.
