$mots_clefs = $row['mots_clefs'];
This means $mots_clefs is a string, not an array. implode expects an array.

I don't really see where you use  $mots_clefs2. You set it as an erroneous value, then forget about it.

PS: Ray will be here momentarily to tell you to switch from mysql to mysqli or PDO.

HTH,
Dan

You probably wanted something like:
$query2 = "SELECT NOM FROM auteurs where id IN ($mots_clefs)";

This should work, but it's ugly and screams for refactoring. Plus it's missing the connection to the keywords table, you're only outputting the id's of the keywords.

$query1 = "SELECT * FROM citations";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
  {
  $auteur_id=$row['auteur'];
  $mots_clefs = $row['mots_clefs'];  
   
  $query2 = "SELECT NOM FROM auteurs where id = $auteur_id";
  $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
  $row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);

   $auteur= $row2[0];
   $texte = $row['texte'];
 
      echo $texte ;
      echo "<strong>";
      echo  $auteur; 
      echo "</strong>";
      echo $mots_clefs;   
echo"</br>";
}

infact i will make a third query getting info in a mots_clefs table
but i need to get the $mots_clefs data  without the , and each one alone

$query3 = "SELECT  NOM FROM `mots_clefs` where id='$motclef'"; 

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mots_clefs` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Nom` varchar(80) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=40 ;

--
-- Contenu de la table `mots_clefs`
--

INSERT INTO `mots_clefs` (`id`, `Nom`) VALUES
(1, 'vie'),
(33, ' test2'),
(34, 'test3'),
(35, 'test1'),
(36, 'test2'),
(37, 'test1'),
(38, 'test2'),

Good news.  Even if you are new to PHP, you can still look up every PHP function on the PHP.net web site.  Examples include these functions.  You must read and understand this stuff if you want to write PHP code, no excuses.  If your script spits out a message, the first line of defense is to look up the function and make sure your script is using it in a way that makes sense.
http://php.net/implode
http://php.net/explode

And Dan's right.  You're going to need to switch from MySQL to MySQLi or PDO.  Better to do it now on your own schedule than wait and find your scripts spitting out deprecated messages.

$pizza  = "piece1,piece2,piece3,piece4,piece5,piece6";
 $pieces = explode(",", $mots_clefs);
echo $pieces[0]; // piece1
echo $pieces[1]; // piece2

is it possible to tell php to consider  this string like   $mots_clefs = $row['mots_clefs'];

(that is '37,38,39') to a array?
thanks?

Here's a still ugly code that should work with all 3 tables (and only 2 queries):
$query1 = "SELECT citations.id, auteur, texte, mots_clefs, nom 
           FROM citations LEFT JOIN auteurs ON citation.auteur = auteur.id";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {
    $auteur = $row['nom'];
    $texte  = $row['texte'];
    $mots_clefs_ids =  $row['mots_clefs'];
    $mots_clefs = array();
    
    $query2 = "SELECT nom FROM mots_clefs WHERE id IN ($mots_clefs_ids)";
    $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
    while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);) {
        $mots_clefs[] = $row2['nom'];
    };
    $mots_clefs = implode(',', $mots_clefs);
    echo "$texte<strong>$auteur</strong>$mots_clefs<br />";
}

No, you don't. You need that data to stay just the way it is, so you can use it in the IN clause:
SELECT nom FROM mots_clefs WHERE id IN (37,38,39)

Really, you gotta look this stuff up and try to get an understanding.  Here is a code fragment from an earlier post annotated with comments.

/**
 * IN THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION WE WILL TAKE A LITERAL STRING
 * AND ASSIGN IT TO A VARIABLE NAMED $pizza
 */
$pizza  = "piece1,piece2,piece3,piece4,piece5,piece6";

/**
 * IN THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION WE WILL TAKE AN UNDEFINED VARIABLE
 * AND USE IT AS AN ARGUMENT TO A FUNCTION CALL.  $pizza IS NOT THE SAME
 * VARIABLE AS $mots_clefs AND $mots_clefs IS UNDEFINED, SO explode() WILL
 * ISSUE A NOTICE AND THE VALUE ASSIGNED TO $pieces WILL BE MEANINGLESS
 */
 $pieces = explode(",", $mots_clefs);

sorry i made a mistake with $pizza
this is better  $pieces = explode(",", $pizza);

i tried this
<?php
require_once ("fonctions/connec.php");
$query1 = "SELECT citations.id, auteur, texte, mots_clefs, nom 
           FROM citations LEFT JOIN auteurs ON citation.auteur = auteur.id";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {
    $auteur = $row['nom'];
    $texte  = $row['texte'];
    $mots_clefs_ids =  $row['mots_clefs'];
   $mots_clefs = array();
    
    $query2 = "SELECT Nom FROM mots_clefs WHERE id IN ($mots_clefs_ids)";
    $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
    while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);) {
        $mots_clefs[] = $row2['nom'];
    };
   
    echo "$texte<strong>$auteur</strong>$mots_clefs<br />";

In this line 14:

while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);) {

The semi-colon is out of place.  Omit it.

And really, get yourself some quality time with this book.  You can spend a month here or a year of trial and error.  Save your time!

This Nom is capitalized:

$query2 = "SELECT Nom FROM mots_clefs WHERE id IN ($mots_clefs_ids)";

This nom is not capitalized:

$mots_clefs[] = $row2['nom'];

In PHP, variables are case-sensitive.  So are table and column names in MySQL.  These are the sorts of things that you'll learn when you start some structured study of PHP and MySQL.  You will be amazed how quickly the stumbling blocks can turn into stepping stones as you start the practice exercises in a well-developed curriculum.

Anyway, we seem to be wandering now.  Have we answered your original question?

You forgot this line:

Without it you're echoing an array instead of a string...

There's something fishy going on. Try this:
require_once ("fonctions/connec.php");
$query1 = "SELECT texte, mots_clefs, nom
           FROM citations LEFT JOIN auteurs ON citations.auteur = auteurs.id";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {
    $auteur = $row['nom'];
    $texte  = $row['texte'];
    $mots_clefs_ids =  $row['mots_clefs'];
    $mots_clefs = array();
    
    $query2 = "SELECT nom FROM mots_clefs WHERE id IN ($mots_clefs_ids)";
    $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
    while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) {
        $mots_clefs[] = $row2['nom'];
    };
    $mots_clefs = implode(',', $mots_clefs);
   
    echo "$texte<strong>$auteur</strong>$mots_clefs<br />";

Hopefully by now you understand why you do not want more than one data element in any column.  All of this is unnecessary and confusing if the data base tables are designed correctly.

Here is an annotated bit of code explaining line-by-line what's going on.  I'll sign off now.  Best of luck with your project and please, please give yourself some much-needed quality time with that book!

/**
 * Using the while() iterator, retrieve data from the $result2 resource
 * with the fetch_array() function (which retrieves twice as much data as
 * you need, making it the least efficient way to retrieve the data). A
 * better choice would be fetch_object().
 *
 * Each iteration will load data into an array named $row2, then the next
 * instruction will be executed, inside the control structure.
 */
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) {

/**
 * As each $row2 array is created, go into the array and find the value 
 * of the variable at the index named 'nom' and copy this value into an
 * array named $mots_clefs.  Because of the empty square bracket notation 
 * after $mots_clefs PHP knows (1) this is an array and (2) the variable
 * from $row['nom'] is to be appended to the array in a new numbered element.
 */
    $mots_clefs[] = $row2['nom'];

/**
 * This is the end of the control structure created by the while() iterator.
 * The semicolon is superfluous and should be removed to avoid confusion.
 */
};

/**
 * This echo statement writes the contents of three variables and some
 * string literals to the browser output stream.  Because some of the 
 * variables are strings the contents of the variable will be sent.  But 
 * PHP does not know what you want to print when you use an array with 
 * echo, so it just prints the word "Array" and ignores the data.
 */
echo "$texte<strong>$auteur</strong>$mots_clefs<br />";

/**
 * This is likely what you want just before the echo statement.  It will 
 * take the $mots_clefs array and turn it into a string variable, with each 
 * of the elements of the array separated by commas in the resulting string.
 * PHP will overwrite the $mots_clefs array variable with the new string.
 */
$mots_clefs = implode(',', $mots_clefs);
