You cannot override those functions.
What is it you're trying to accomplish? That would help us give you a better direction to go.
Ok, I want to change tags delimiter from ',' to '-' by changing implode and explode functions. how can I do that properly so that all tags inputs and outputs are affected?
Changing the tag delimiter would be difficult to do correctly. Here's one hack:
- override the css/elements/components view and change the .elgg-tags li.elgg-tag:after rule.
- override the input/tags view and change the implode there.
- register for the plugin hook ("action", "all"). In your handler function, do something like this:
$tags = explode("-", get_input("tags", "")); set_input("tags", implode(",", $tags));This should work for each form that uses "tags" as the name of the input/tags view, but blindly rewriting input is a brittle solution.
My advice is to not do this.

There is a small typo in that code. It should be
$city = get_input('city');
I made a mistake in creating metadata. It turns out that each field must be added by create_metadata function separately :
create_metadata($object->guid, 'city', $city, 'text', 0, ACCESS_PUBLIC);
create_metadata($object->guid, 'province', $province, 'text', 0, ACCESS_PUBLIC);The values are stored in elgg_metastrings table and now I can echo them in user profile. Thank you all.
