I prefer "split" to "explode", which is what Java and Javascript and some other languages use. Don't think there's any built-in "implode" functionality in Java or Javascript, though... just have to iterate over the array yourself or write a function to do that.

To remember explode vs. implode, I think I'd just think about taking one string, exploding it into many little pieces (of an array).

I’ve come up with some mnemonics for remembering the difference between the PHP functions, implode and explode, since I always confuse them, in my head.
