Fastest way to convert php associate array to string

Question

What will be the fastest and best way to convert the following PHP associate array to a string without json.

array

 Array ( [0] => A [1] => S [2] => G)

to a string, exactly like

String =  "A, S, G";

Most of the solutions available are using JSON, that I don't want to use. plus I want to know the "Fastest" and "Best" way.

Why not consider the accepted answer to that duplicate question? What makes you believe that it isn't the fastest and best way? — Mark Baker, Jan 25 '17 at 19:46

Use the implode function:

$str = implode(array('a', 'b', 'c'));

One way is using print_r(array, true) and it will return string representation of array

Sure, but this will _not_ produce the result the OP specifically asks for. – arkascha Jan 25 '17 at 18:42
