STARTING ARRAY
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => /searchnew.aspx?Make=Toyota&Model=Tundra&Trim=CrewMax+5.7L+V8+6-Spd+AT+SR5&st=Price+asc
[1] => 19
)
)
I have been struggling to break down this array for the past couple days now. I have found a few useful functions to extract the strings I need when a start and end point are defined, however, I can't see that being good for long term use. Basically I'm trying to take the string relative to [0], and extract the strings following "Model=" and "Trim=", in hopes to have array like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Tundra ***model***
[1] => CrewMax+5.7L+V8+6-Spd+AT+SR5 ***trim***
[2] => 19
)
)
I'm getting this information fed through an api, so coming up with a dynamic solution is my biggest challenge. I realize this a big question, but is there a better/less hacky way of approaching this problem?
parse_url() will get you the query string and parse_str() parses the variables from that:
$q = parse_url($array[0][0], PHP_URL_QUERY);
parse_str($q, $result);
print_r($result);
Yields:
Array
(
[Make] => Toyota
[Model] => Tundra
[Trim] => CrewMax 5.7L V8 6-Spd AT SR5
[st] => Price asc
)
Now just echo $result['Model']
etc...
