arrays - php implode (101) with quotes

Question

Imploding a simple array

would look like this

$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);

and that would return this

 lastname,email,phone

great, so i might do this instead

$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');
$comma_separated = implode("','", $array);
$comma_separated = "'".$comma_separated."'";

and now i have what I want a nice pretty csv string

 'lastname','email','phone'

is there a better way to do this, it feels to me like there should be an optional parameter for implode am I missing something ?

Answer 1

$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');


echo "'" . implode("','", $array) . "'";
