PHP: multiple spaces in PHP implode

Question

I am imploding an array. Instead of using a "," or other delimiter I would like two spaces.

How can this be accomplished?

I've tried:

<div>{implode("  ", $my_array)}</div> // Condenses to one space.
<div>{implode("&nbsp; &nbsp;", $my_array)}</div> // Just prints out the &nbsp. I do not use hashes in my code.

Note: I do NOT use the # in my nbsp. StackOverflow renders them as spaces if I don't :P

have you tried just and not &#nbsp; (if you don't use hashes in the code why do you paste it here) — Kai Qing

Looks like you are using some kind of templating engine which is probably converting your   to   check the documentation for "escape sequences" or "raw output". — prodigitalson

Actually, your implode is working, but for HTML, multiple basic space will be rendered as a simple space, its a fact. That's why, there is the solution with "non-breakable space" also known as  . You can also try to use some special tags like <pre> in order to keep the initial format. — MatRt

try "\t" (a horizontal tab) or just "&nbsp &nbsp" (two html spaces)

Pretty sure you meant "single space" and not "simple space".
