toString on pid 5.3 error exception

[svenvanhees]

When using toString() on a message that has the pid 5.1 field filled in, the segmentToString function returns an ErrorException: Array to string conversion.

Reproducible by using a pid 5.1 like this:

Test &""&firstname &""&""^F^N N^^^^F^^^^""~Test &""&Test^Test^""^^^^B~""&""&""^^^^^^P~^Lastname^^^^^N

The implode function in segmentToString tries to implode the pid 5 field, which looks like this:

array:5 [
  0 => array:5 [
    0 => "Test "
    1 => """"
    2 => "firstname "
    3 => """"
    4 => """"
  ]
  1 => "F"
  2 => "N N"
  3 => "F"
  4 => """"
]

Try the argument doNotSplitRepetition while creating Message() object:

$msg = new Message($messageString, null, false, false, true, true); // Or if you're on PHP-8: new Message($messageString, doNotSplitRepetition: true);

That seems to do the trick. Thanks!
