string.implode(trable,var) and more.

This it's an PHP emulation xp
Not unsefull but funny.

function string.impode(arr,sep) --- by Mock
   local str = ""
   sep = sep or ""
   for i=1,#arr do
      str = str..tostring(arr[i])..sep
   end
   return str:sub(1,str:len()-1)
end

This do it:

text = string.impode({'hi','my','name','its',false,print},'+') 
print(text)

Print->hi+my+name+its+false+function: 004C1C08

It's opossit of string.explode.

array
If you use PHP you know, arrays you must need use: array($v1,$v2,$v3,...)
now in lua you can do it! xD
i do it because i'm bored.
prepare yourself to see most biggest wrold function!

function array(...) -- By mock
   return {...}
end

I know! UNLESS! xD
Using it:

table_ = array(cid,name,pos,var)
print('My name is: '..table_[2])

string.implode = function (arr, sep) -- by elf
   local str, sep = "", sep or ""
   for k, v in pairs(arr) do
      if(tonumber(k) == nil) then
         str = str .. tostring(k) .. "=>"
      end

      str = str .. tostring(v) .. sep
   end
   return str:sub(1, str:len() - 1)
end

It is more efficient to use table.concat to concat your strings (since a string is an array of chars) than using "..".

I always use table.concat (which does pretty much like your function), it's very useful in few cases!
