implode into quoted string

[nikko50]

How can I implode into a quoted string? I would like it to look like this..... 'SHORT','IN STOCK','SHIPPED' . $status is just an array of values SHORT,IN STOCK and SHIPPED.

$statusGroup = implode(",",$status);

<?php
$status=array('SHORT','IN STOCK','SHIPPED');
$statusGroup = "'".implode("','",$status)."'";
echo $statusGroup; //'SHORT','IN STOCK','SHIPPED'
?>

Common one-liner to do it would be:

"'" . implode("','", $status) . "'"

though that doesn't protect you from the delimiter (single quote) appearing inside of any of the values.
