Echo Arrays

SP8600

Hi, i was wondering if theres any way to echo an array into a textarea so that it can be edited and then saved, i know how it can be saved only cant work out how to get it into the textarea in the first place. This is the current array:

$fileTypes = array('jpg', 'gif', 'png');

If i just use echo $fileTypes; then it will just display "Array" in the textarea, how can i overcome this problem.
Thanks.

see if this makes any sense to you

<?php

$raw_array = array(
    'abcd',
    'efgh',
    'ijkl',
    'mnop'
);

$raw_text = "abcd
efgh
ijkl
mnop";

$array_of_text = explode( "\n", trim($raw_text) );
$text_of_array = implode( "\n", $raw_array );

echo "<pre>";

echo "\nRAW ARRAY:\n";
print_r($raw_array);

echo "\nARRAY OF TEXT:\n";
print_r($array_of_text);

echo "\nRAW TEXT:\n";
echo trim($raw_text);

echo "\n\nTEXT OF ARRAY:\n";
echo $text_of_array;

echo "</pre>";

?>

Ok, so if i use:

$arrayFiles = implode( "\n", $fileTypes );

That will out put something like:

gif
jpg
png

However so that i can add that to the vars file again once it has been edited, how can i change it back to:

'jpg', 'gif', 'png'
