I'm trying to break up this string,
AFRIKAANS = af
ALBANIAN = sq
AMHARIC = am
ARABIC = ar
ARMENIAN = hy
AZERBAIJANI = az
BASQUE = eu
BELARUSIAN = be
BENGALI = bn
BIHARI = bh
BULGARIAN = bg
BURMESE = my
CATALAN = ca
CHEROKEE = chr
CHINESE = zh
Into an array like this
$lang_codes['chinese'] = "zh";
So the name of the language is the key, and the value is the language code. This is really simple, but I just can't get my head around it. I've taken a brake from programming, too long, obviously...
I've tried exploding at \n
then using a foreach
, exploding again at =
but I can't seem to piece it together the way I want.
I've tried exploding at \n then using a foreach, exploding again at " = "
I think this is exactly the right approach.
$lines = explode("\n", $langs);
$lang_codes = array();
foreach ($lines as $line) {
list ($lang, $code) = explode(" = ", $line, 2);
$lang_codes[$lang] = $code;
}
If you want the language to be in lowercase, as in your example ($lang_codes['chinese']
), you'll need to call strtolower
:
$lang_codes[strtolower($lang)] = $code;
See the PHP manual for more on these functions:
