Here is a string..
$string = "foo1 : bar1, foo2: bar2, foo3: bar3";
Exploding using ,
delimeter
$exploded = (",", $string);
Now the $exploded
array contains:
foo1 : bar1
foo2 : bar2
foo3 : bar3
Now I need to put foo1
in an array['key']
and bar1
in array['value']
How to achieve this?
You'll need to create another loop to go through an array of "foo:bar"
strings and explode them:
$exploded = explode(",", $input);
$output = array(); //Array to put the results in
foreach($exploded as $item) { //Go through "fooX : barX" pairs
$item = explode(" : ", $item); //create ["fooX", "barX"]
$output[$item[0]] = $item[1]; //$output["fooX"] = "barX";
}
print_R($output);
Note that if the same key appears more than once in the input string - they will overwrite each other and only the last value will exist in the result.
