How can the use of explode() and implode() functions affect the outcome of array manipulation in PHP?

The use of explode() and implode() functions can affect the outcome of array manipulation in PHP by allowing you to convert strings into arrays and vice versa. If you have a string with values separated by a delimiter, you can use explode() to split it into an array. On the other hand, if you have an array and want to concatenate its values into a string with a specific delimiter, you can use implode(). 

// Example of using explode() and implode() functions for array manipulation
$string = "apple,banana,orange";
$array = explode(",", $string); // Split the string into an array using comma as delimiter

echo "Array: ";
print_r($array); // Output: Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana [2] => orange )

$newString = implode(" | ", $array); // Concatenate array values with a pipe delimiter

echo "New String: " . $newString; // Output: New String: apple | banana | orange
