There are different ways to do this some of them has given. implode(), join(), var_export(), print_r(), serialize(), json_encode()exc... You can also write your own function without these:

A For() loop is very useful. You can add your array's value to another variable like this:

<?php
    $dizi=array('mother','father','child'); //This is array

    $sayi=count($dizi);
    for ($i=0; $i<$sayi; $i++) {
        $dizin.=("'$dizi[$i]',"); //Now it is string...
    }
         echo substr($dizin,0,-1); //Write it like string :D
?>

In this code we added $dizi's values and comma to $dizin:

$dizin.=("'$dizi[$i]',");

Now

$dizin = 'mother', 'father', 'child',

It's a string, but it has an extra comma :)

And then we deleted the last comma, substr($dizin, 0, -1);

Output:

'mother','father','child'

serialize   is the function you are looking for   It will return a string representation of its input array or object in a PHP-specific internal format  The string may be converted back to its original form with unserialize     But beware  that not all objects are serializable  or some may be only partially serializable and unable to be completely restored with unserialize      array   array 1 2 3  foo    echo serialize  array       Prints a 4  i 0 i 1 i 1 i 2 i 2 i 3 i 3 s 3  foo
