note 78332 added to function.implode

This code implodes same as the PHP built in except it allows
you to do multi dimension arrays ( similar to a function
below but works dynamic :p.

<?php

function implode_md($glue, $array, $array_path='')
{
	if ( !empty($array_path) )
	{
		$array_path = explode('.', $array_path);
		
		if ( ( $array_path_sizeof = sizeof($array_path) ) < 1
)
		{
			return implode($glue, $array);
		}
	}
	else
	{
		return implode($glue, $array);
	}
	
	$str = '';
	
	$array_sizeof = sizeof($array) - 1;
	
	for ( $i = 0; $i < $array_sizeof; $i++ )
	{
		$value = $array[ $i ];
		
		for ( $j = 0; $j < $array_path_sizeof; $j++ )
		{
			$value =& $value[ $array_path[ $j ] ];
		}
		
		$str .= $value . $glue;
	}
	
	$value = $array[ $array_sizeof ];
	
	for ( $j = 0; $j < $array_path_sizeof; $j++ )
	{
		$value =& $value[ $array_path[ $j ] ];
	}
	
	$str .= $value;
	
	return $str;
}

?>

And heres an example on how to use this

<?php

$arr = array();
$arr[]['data']['id'] = 'a';
$arr[]['data']['id'] = 'b';
$arr[]['data']['id'] = 'c';
$arr[]['data']['id'] = 'd';
$arr[]['data']['id'] = 'e';
$arr[]['data']['id'] = 'f';
$arr[]['data']['id'] = 'g';

echo implode_md(',', $arr, 'data.id');

?>

The output of this code should be

'a,b,c,d,e,f,g'

When you want to work with more dimensions... say for
example you have an array that is like this

<?php

$arr=array();
$arr[0]['game']['pc']['fps']['idsoftware'] = 'Quake';
$arr[1]['game']['pc']['fps']['idsoftware'] = 'Quake II';
$arr[2]['game']['pc']['fps']['idsoftware'] = 'Quake III
Arena';

?>

on the third parameter... as a string you simply type in

<?php

echo implode_md(', ', $arr, 'game.pc.fps.idsoftware');

?>

and the output should be

'Quake, Quake II, Quake III Arena'

Enjoy ;)
