    Trying to remember a function's name

    Hi, I am drawing a total blank on this... I'm sure that I've seen it in
    javascript or PHP... I'm looking for a function that takes a variable
    (such as an array) and reduces it to a string which can be
    reconstituted. I remember that it does slightly more work than needed
    because all the types were specifically indicated even when they were
    self evident, but I can't remember the function's name. There is some
    unencoding function to go in reverse.

    Would someone help me out and name the function I'm thinking of,
    please.

    Thanks,
    Csaba Gabor

          implode() and explode (PHP 3, 4 and 5)
