What are some potential pitfalls when using implode to process arrays in PHP?

One potential pitfall when using implode to process arrays in PHP is that if the array contains non-string values, implode will raise a warning and return a string with those values cast to strings. To avoid this issue, you can use array_map to convert all values to strings before imploding the array. 

// Example array with non-string values
$array = [1, 2, 3];

// Convert all values to strings using array_map
$array = array_map('strval', $array);

// Implode the array with a separator
$string = implode(',', $array);

echo $string; // Output: "1,2,3"
