How to convert an array into a number in PHP?

I want to convert an array in one large number in PHP.

For example, I have an array $array:

$array[0] = 10;
$array[1] = 20;
$array[2] = 30;
$array[3] = 40;

I want this to be:

$one_large_number = 10203040;

I read somewhere the way to convert an array into a string, but that won't allow me to perform mathematical operations, right?

So anyone know how to convert the array to one continuous number?

Thanks.

To make sure you'll get a number:

intval(implode('', $array));

Hi you can use implode it's an alias of join

$array[0] = 10;
$array[1] = 20;
$array[2] = 30;
$array[3] = 40;
$one_large_number = implode('',$array);

Try implode() function as:

$array = array(10, 20, 30, 40);
$one_large_number = implode("", $array);
// Output: 10203040

join("", $array);

A little more about it in here: http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_string_join.asp

http://codepad.org/Dv0zdtaJ - live example. As you can see, you can easily perform further mathematical functions with that number :)
