I have string like this
$string = 'title,id,user(name,email)';
and I want result to be like this
Array
(
[0] => title
[1] => id
[user] => Array
(
[0] => name
[1] => email
)
)
so far I tried with explode function and multiple for loop the code getting ugly and i think there must be better solution by using regular expression like preg_split.
Replace the comma with ### of nested dataset then explode by a comma. Then make an iteration on the array to split nested dataset to an array. Example:
$string = 'user(name,email),office(title),title,id';
$string = preg_replace_callback("|\(([a-z,]+)\)|i", function($s) {
return str_replace(",", "###", $s[0]);
}, $string);
$data = explode(',', $string);
$data = array_reduce($data, function($old, $new) {
preg_match('/(.+)\((.+)\)/', $new, $m);
if(isset($m[1], $m[2]))
{
return $old + [$m[1] => explode('###', $m[2])];
}
return array_merge($old , [$new]);
}, []);
print '<pre>';
print_r($data);
First thanks #janie for enlighten me, I've busied for while and since yesterday I've learnt a bit regular expression and try to modify #janie answer to suite with my need, here are my code.
$string = 'user(name,email),title,id,office(title),user(name,email),title';
$commaBetweenParentheses = "|,(?=[^\(]*\))|";
$string = preg_replace($commaBetweenParentheses, '###', $string);
$array = explode(',', $string);
$stringFollowedByParentheses = '|(.+)\((.+)\)|';
$final = array();
foreach ($array as $value) {
preg_match($stringFollowedByParentheses, $value, $result);
if(!empty($result))
{
$final[$result[1]] = explode('###', $result[2]);
}
if(empty($result) && !in_array($value, $final)){
$final[] = $value;
}
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($final);

Explode a string to associative array without using loops? [duplicate]
(10 answers)
Closed 7 months ago.
I have a PHP string separated by characters like this :
$str = "var1,'Hello'|var2,'World'|";
I use explode function and split my string in array like this :
$sub_str = explode("|", $str);
and it returns:
$substr[0] = "var1,'hello'";
$substr[1] = "var2,'world'";
Is there any way to explode $substr in array with this condition:
first part of $substr is array index and second part of $substr is variable?
example :
$new_substr = array();
$new_substr["var1"] = 'hello';
$new_substr["var2"] = 'world';
and when I called my $new_substr it return just result ?
example :
echo $new_substr["var1"];
and return : hello
try this code:
$str = "var1,'Hello'|var2,'World'|";
$sub_str = explode("|", $str);
$array = [];
foreach ($sub_str as $string) {
$data = explode(',', $string);
if(isset($data[0]) && !empty($data[0])){
$array[$data[0]] = $data[1];
}
}
You can do this using preg_match_all to extract the keys and values, then using array_combine to put them together:
$str = "var1,'Hello'|var2,'World'|";
preg_match_all('/(?:^|\|)([^,]+),([^\|]+(?=\||$))/', $str, $matches);
$new_substr = array_combine($matches[1], $matches[2]);
print_r($new_substr);
Output:
Array (
[var1] => 'Hello'
[var2] => 'World'
)

You can do it with explode(), str_replace() functions.
The Steps are simple:
1) Split the string into two segments with |, this will form an array with two elements.
2) Loop over the splitted array.
3) Replace single quotes as not required.
4) Replace the foreach current element with comma (,)
5) Now, we have keys and values separated.
6) Append it to an array.
7) Enjoy!!!
Code:
<?php
$string = "var1,'Hello'|var2,'World'|";
$finalArray = array();
$asArr = explode('|', $string );
$find = ["'",];
$replace = [''];
foreach( $asArr as $val ){
$val = str_replace($find, $replace, $val);
$tmp = explode( ',', $val );
if (! empty($tmp[0]) && ! empty($tmp[1])) {
$finalArray[ $tmp[0] ] = $tmp[1];
}
}
echo '<pre>';print_r($finalArray);echo '</pre>';
Output:
Array
(
[var1] => Hello
[var2] => World
)
See it live:
Try this code:
$str = "var1,'Hello'|var2,'World'|";
$sub_str = explode("|", $str);
$new_str = array();
foreach ( $sub_str as $row ) {
$test_str = explode( ',', $row );
if ( 2 == count( $test_str ) ) {
$new_str[$test_str[0]] = str_replace("'", "", $test_str[1] );
}
}
print $new_str['var1'] . ' ' . $new_str['var2'];
Just exploding your $sub_str with the comma in a loop and replacing single quote from the value to provide the expected result.
This is my array:
['apple']['some code']
['beta']['other code']
['cat']['other code 2 ']
how can I replace all the "e" letters with "!" in the key name and keep the values
so that I will get something like that
['appl!']['some code']
['b!ta']['other code']
['cat']['other code 2 ']
I found this but because I don't have the same name for all keys I can't use It
$tags = array_map(function($tag) {
return array(
'name' => $tag['name'],
'value' => $tag['url']
);
}, $tags);
I hope your array looks like this:-
Array
(
[apple] => some code
[beta] => other code
[cat] => other code 2
)
If yes then you can do it like below:-
$next_array = array();
foreach ($array as $key=>$val){
$next_array[str_replace('e','!',$key)] = $val;
}
echo "<pre/>";print_r($next_array);
output:- https://eval.in/780144
You can stick with array_map actually. It is not really practical, but as a prove of concept, this can be done like this:
$array = array_combine(
array_map(function ($key) {
return str_replace('e', '!', $key);
}, array_keys($array)),
$array
);
We use array_keys function to extract keys and feed them to array_map. Then we use array_combine to put keys back to place.
Here is working demo.
Here we are using array_walk and through out the iteration we are replacing e to ! in key and putting the key and value in a new array.
Try this code snippet here
<?php
$firstArray = array('apple'=>'some code','beta'=>'other code','cat'=>'other code 2 ');
$result=array();
array_walk($firstArray, function($value,$key) use (&$result) {
$result[str_replace("e", "!", $key)]=$value;
});
print_r($result);
If you got this :
$firstArray = array('apple'=>'some code','beta'=>'other code','cat'=>'other code 2 ');
You can try this :
$keys = array_keys($firstArray);
$outputArray = array();
$length = count($firstArray);
for($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
$key = str_replace("e", "!", $keys[ $i ]);
$outputArray[ $key ] = $firstArray[$keys[$i]];
}
We can iterate the array and mark all problematic keys to be changed. Check for the value whether it is string and if so, make sure the replacement is done if needed. If it is an array instead of a string, then call the function recursively for the inner array. When the values are resolved, do the key replacements and remove the bad keys. In your case pass "e" for $old and "!" for $new. (untested)
function replaceKeyValue(&$arr, $old, $new) {
$itemsToRemove = array();
$itemsToAdd = array();
foreach($arr as $key => $value) {
if (strpos($key, $old) !== false) {
$itemsToRemove[]=$key;
$itemsToAdd[]=str_replace($old,$new,$key);
}
if (is_string($value)) {
if (strpos($value, $old) !== false) {
$arr[$key] = str_replace($old, $new, $value);
}
} else if (is_array($value)) {
$arr[$key] = replaceKeyValue($arr[$key], $old, $new);
}
}
for ($index = 0; $index < count($itemsToRemove); $index++) {
$arr[$itemsToAdd[$index]] = $itemsToRemove[$index];
unset($arr[$itemsToRemove[$index]]);
}
return $arr;
}
Another option using just 2 lines of code:
Given:
$array
(
[apple] => some code
[beta] => other code
[cat] => other code 2
)
Do:
$replacedKeys = str_replace('e', '!', array_keys($array));
return array_combine($replacedKeys, $array);
Explanation:
str_replace can take an array and perform the replace on each entry. So..
array_keys will pull out the keys (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-keys.php)
str_replace will perform the replacements (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php)
array_combine will rebuild the array using the keys from the newly updated keys with the values from the original array (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-combine.php)
I am doing an assignment on how to take a string of text separated by commas and reverse the individual words and return the words in the same order.
This code does that but it is not returning it as a string for some reason and i do not understand.
<?php
function bassAckwards($input)
{
// YOUR CODE HERE
$commas = substr_count($input, ",");
$NumWords = ($commas + 1);
$words = array($input);
for($x=0;$x<$NumWords;$x++)
{
$answer = array(strrev($words[$x]));
$answer = implode(",",$answer);
print $answer;
}
}
?>
function bassAckwards($str){
$words = explode(',', $str);
$reversedWords = array_map('strrev', $words);
return implode(',', $reversedWords);
}
var_dump(bassAckwards('foo,bar,baz')); // string(11) "oof,rab,zab"
Save yourself some headaches and use the built-it functions.
explode
make 'foo,bar,baz' => array('foo','bar','baz')
array_map & strrev
Execute strrev (string reverse) on every element of the array with array_map and return the [modified] array back.
implode
convert the array back to a csv.
$reversedWords = array();
// Explode by commas
$words = explode(',', $input);
foreach ($word in $words) {
// For each word
// Stack it, reversed, in the new array $reversedWords
$reversedWords[] = strrev($word);
}
// Implode by commas
$output = implode(',', $reversedWords);
print $output;
I want to use regular expression to filter substrings from this string
eg: hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php #...
I am trying to produce an array with a structure like this:
Array
(
[0]=> hello world
[1]=> Array
(
[0]=> level
[1]=> basic
)
[2]=> Array
(
[0]=> lang
[1]=> java
[2]=> php
)
)
I have tried preg_match("/(.*)#(.*)[:(.*)]*/", $input_line, $output_array);
and what I have got is:
Array
(
[0] => hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php
[1] => hello world #level:basic
[2] => lang:java:php
)
In this case then I will have to apply this regex few times to the indexes and then apply a regex to filter the colon out. My question is: is it possible to create a better regex to do all in one go? what would the regex be? Thanks
You can use :
$array = explode("#", "hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php");
foreach($array as $k => &$v) {
$v = strpos($v, ":") === false ? $v : explode(":", $v);
}
print_r($array);
do this
$array = array() ;
$text = "hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php";
$array = explode("#", $text);
foreach($array as $i => $value){
$array[$i] = explode(":", trim($value));
}
print_r($array);
Got something for you:
Rules:
a tag begins with #
a tag may not contain whitespace/newline
a tag is preceeded and followed by whitespace or line beginning/ending
a tag can have several parts divided by :
Example:
#this:tag:matches this is some text #a-tag this is no tag: \#escaped
and this one tag#does:not:match
Function:
<?php
function parseTags($string)
{
static $tag_regex = '#(?<=\s|^)#([^\:\s]+)(?:\:([^\s]+))*(?=\s|$)#m';
$results = array();
preg_match_all($tag_regex, $string, $results, PREG_SET_ORDER | PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
$tags = array();
foreach($results as $result) {
$tag = array(
'offset' => $result[0][1],
'raw' => $result[0][0],
'length' => strlen($result[0][0]),
0 => $result[1][0]);
if(isset($result[2]))
$tag = array_merge($tag, explode(':', $result[2][0]));
$tag['elements'] = count($tag)-3;
$tags[] = $tag;
}
return $tags;
}
?>
Result:
array(2) {
[0]=>array(7) {
["offset"]=>int(0)
["raw"]=>string(17) "#this:tag:matches"
["length"]=>int(17)
[0]=>string(4) "this"
[1]=>string(3) "tag"
[2]=>string(7) "matches"
["elements"]=>int(3)
}
[1]=>array(5) {
["offset"]=>int(36)
["raw"]=>string(6) "#a-tag"
["length"]=>int(6)
[0]=>string(5) "a-tag"
["elements"]=>int(1)
}
}
Each matched tag contains
the raw tag text
the tag offset and original length (e.g. to replace it in the string later with str... functions)
the number of elements (to safely iterate for($i = 0; $i < $tag['elements']; $i++))
This might work for you:
$results = array() ;
$text = "hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php" ;
$parts = explode("#", $text);
foreach($parts as $part){
$results[] = explode(":", $part);
}
var_dump($results);
Two ways using regex, note that you somehow need explode() since PCRE for PHP doesn't support capturing a subgroup:
$string = 'hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php';
preg_match_all('/(?<=#)[\w:]+/', $string, $m);
foreach($m[0] as $v){
$example1[] = explode(':', $v);
}
print_r($example1);
// This one needs PHP 5.3+
$example2 = array();
preg_replace_callback('/(?<=#)[\w:]+/', function($m)use(&$example2){
$example2[] = explode(':', $m[0]);
}, $string);
print_r($example2);
This give you the array structure you are looking for:
<pre><?php
$subject = 'hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php';
$array = explode('#', $subject);
foreach($array as &$value) {
$items = explode(':', trim($value));
if (sizeof($items)>1) $value = $items;
}
print_r($array);
But if you prefer you can use this abomination:
$subject = 'hello world #level:basic #lang:java:php';
$pattern = '~(?:^| ?+#)|(?:\G([^#:]+?)(?=:| #|$)|:)+~';
preg_match_all($pattern, $subject, $matches);
array_shift($matches[1]);
$lastKey = sizeof($matches[1])-1;
foreach ($matches[1] as $key=>$match) {
if (!empty($match)) $temp[]=$match;
if (empty($match) || $key==$lastKey) {
$result[] = (sizeof($temp)>1) ? $temp : $temp[0];
unset($temp);
}
}
print_r($result);
I've got an array called $myarray with values like these:
myarray = array (
[0] => eat-breakfast
[1] => have-a-break
[2] => dance-tonight
[3] => sing-a-song
)
My goal is to search for a part of this array and get the rest of it. Here is an example:
If i submit eat, I would like to get breakfast.
If i submit have, I would like to get a-break.
I just try but I'm not sure at all how to do it...
$word = 'eat';
$pattern = '/'.$word.'/i';
foreach ($myarray as $key => $value) {
if(preg_match($pattern, $value, $matches)){
echo $value;
}
}
print_r($matches);
It displays:
eat-breakfastArray ( )
But I want something like that:
breakfast
I think I'm totally wrong, but I don't have any idea how to proceed.
Thanks.
use
stripos($word, $myarray)
<?php
$myarray = array (
'eat-breakfast',
'have-a-break',
'dance-tonight',
'sing-a-song'
) ;
function search($myarray, $word){
foreach($myarray as $index => $value){
if (stripos($value, $word) !== false){
echo str_replace(array($word,'-'), "", $value);
}
}
}
search($myarray, 'dance');
echo "<br />";
search($myarray, 'have-a');
echo "<br />";
search($myarray, 'sing-a');
demo
I think the word you seek is at the beginning. Try this
function f($myarray, $word)
{
$len = strlen($word);
foreach($myarray as $item)
{
if(substr($item, 0, $len) == $word)
return substr($item, $len+1);
}
return false;
}
You're feeding the wrong information into preg_match, although I'd recommend using array_search().. Check out my updated snippet:
$word = 'eat';
$pattern = '/'.$word.'/i';
foreach ($myarray as $key => $value) {
if(preg_match($pattern, $value, $matches)){
echo $value;
}
}
print_r($matches);
To get rid of that last bit, just perform a str_replace operation to replace the word with ""
This will both search the array (with a native function) and return the remainder of the string.
function returnOther($search, $array) {
$found_key = array_search($search, $array);
$new_string = str_replace($search . "-", "", $array[$found_key]);
return $new_string;
}
