I have a string
$str = "recordsArray[]=3&recordsArray[]=1";
Is there any simple way to make this to an array other than exploding
this string at &? Im expecting a result like this print_r($str);
//expecting output
array('0' => '3','1' => '1');
Yes there is: parse_strDocs; Example (Demo):
parse_str("recordsArray[]=3&recordsArray[]=1", $test);
print_r($test);
Use preg_match_all like this:
$str = "recordsArray[]=3&recordsArray[]=1";
if ( preg_match_all('~\[\]=(\d+)~i', $str, $m) )
print_r ( $m[1] );
OUTPUT:
Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => 1
)

I have a dataset and I want to conevert it into an array and I just can't figure out how...
I've tried a couple things like preg_replace() with regex and explode() but it doesn't come out the way I need it.
So my dataset looks like this:
dataCrossID=12345, DeviceID=[ID=1234567]
dataCrossID=5678, DeviceID=[ID=7654321]
dataCrossID=67899, DeviceID=[ID=87654321]
and the Array should look like this:
$dataSet(
[12345] => 1234567,
[5678] => 7654321,
[67899] => 87654321,
)
I tried regex but the fact that the numbers got different lenghts makes it hard for me.
Does anyone have an idea?
The easiest way would be using preg_match_all with an simple regular expression.
$data = 'dataCrossID=12345, DeviceID=[ID=1234567]
dataCrossID=5678, DeviceID=[ID=7654321]
dataCrossID=67899, DeviceID=[ID=87654321]';
preg_match_all('/=([0-9]+).*=([0-9]+)/', $data, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
$dataSet = [];
foreach ($matches as $match) {
$dataSet[$match[1]] = $match[2];
}
print_r($dataSet);
Use preg_match_all() to identify the pieces of text you need:
$input = <<< E
dataCrossID=12345, DeviceID=[ID=1234567]
dataCrossID=5678, DeviceID=[ID=7654321]
dataCrossID=67899, DeviceID=[ID=87654321]
E;
preg_match_all('/dataCrossID=(\d+), DeviceID=\[ID=(\d+)\]/', $input, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
print_r($matches);
The content of $matches is:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => dataCrossID=12345, DeviceID=[ID=1234567]
[1] => 12345
[2] => 1234567
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => dataCrossID=5678, DeviceID=[ID=7654321]
[1] => 5678
[2] => 7654321
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => dataCrossID=67899, DeviceID=[ID=87654321]
[1] => 67899
[2] => 87654321
)
)
You can now iterate over $matches and use the values at positions 1 and 2 as keys and values to extract the data into the desired array:
$output = array_reduce(
$matches,
function(array $c, array $m) {
$c[$m[1]] = $m[2];
return $c;
},
array()
);
print_r($output);
The output is:
Array
(
[12345] => 1234567
[5678] => 7654321
[67899] => 87654321
)
I did try but can't find or figure out regex for the following
Working in PHP need preg_split to work
{password=123456, telephone=9452979342}/{Accept=application/json, Authorization=Bearer kadaljdlkadjsdaskdjaskdasdf}
What I want is to split this string into array like this:
Split by '/' in middle
[0] => {password=123456, telephone=9452979342}
[2] => {Accept=application/json, Authorization=Bearer kadaljdlkadjsdaskdjaskdasdf}
Select between {*}
[0] => password=123456, telephone=9452979342
[2] => Accept=application/json, Authorization=Bearer kadaljdlkadjsdaskdjaskdasdf
As per your way , you may try the following approach as well
$re = '/\}\/\{/m';
$str = '{password=123456, telephone=9452979342}/{Accept=application/json, Authorization=Bearer kadaljdlkadjsdaskdjaskdasdf}';
$arr=preg_split($re,$str);
$cnt=0;
foreach($arr as $values)
$arr[$cnt++]=preg_replace('/[{}]/','',$values);
print_r($arr);
run here
Is that what you want:
$str = "{password=123456, telephone=9452979342}/{Accept=application/json, Authorization=Bearer kadaljdlkadjsdaskdjaskdasdf}";
preg_match('~\{(.+?)\}/\{(.+?)\}~', $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => {password=123456, telephone=9452979342}/{Accept=application/json, Authorization=Bearer kadaljdlkadjsdaskdjaskdasdf}
[1] => password=123456, telephone=9452979342
[2] => Accept=application/json, Authorization=Bearer kadaljdlkadjsdaskdjaskdasdf
)
I am trying to get some specific values out of the following string:
{"car":"Toyota"{"car":"honda"{"car":"BMW{"car":"Hyundai"
I want to get 'Toyota' out of that. The string is randomly generated, so it could be Benz or Pontiac.
Not really sure what this crazy string is from, but if you've accurately shown the format, this will extract the strings you're after:
$string = '{"car":"Toyota"{"car":"honda"{"car":"BMW{"car":"Hyundai"';
$string = array_filter(
explode(',',
preg_replace(
array('/"/', '/{/', '/:/', '"car"'),
array('', ',', '', ''),
$string
)
)
);
print_r($string);
// Output: Array ( [1] => Toyota [2] => honda [3] => BMW [4] => Hyundai )
... if, instead, this is just a horrible typeo and this is supposed to be JSON, use json_decode:
$string = '[{"car":"Toyota"},{"car":"honda"},{"car":"BMW"},{"car":"Hyundai"}]'; // <-- valid JSON
$data = json_decode($string, true);
print_r($data);
// Output: Array ( [0] => Array ( [car] => Toyota ) [1] => Array ( [car] => honda ) [2] => Array ( [car] => BMW ) [3] => Array ( [car] => Hyundai ) )
Documentation
preg_replace - http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

json_decode - http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
Although this looks like a corrupt piece of JSON, I would say you can get the first car with explode().
$string = '{"car":"Toyota"{"car":"honda"{"car":"BMW{"car":"Hyundai"';
$string = explode("{", $string);
$firstcar = $string[1]; //your string starts with {, so $string[0] would be empty
$firstcar = explode(":", $firstcar);
$caryouarelookingfor = $firstcar[1]; // [0] would be 'car', [1] will be 'Toyota'
echo $caryouarelookingfor // output: "Toyota"
But, as also mentioned in the comments, the string looks like a corrupt piece of JSON, so perhaps you want to fix the construction of this string. :)
EDIT: typo in code, as said in first comment.
$str = "X-Storage-Url: https://pathofanapi";
I would like to split this into an array ("X-Storage-Url", "https://pathofanapi").
Could someone tell me the regex for this ? Regex has always been my weakness.
Thanks.
$array = array_map('trim', explode(':', $str, 2));
As it's been said, explode is the right tool to do this job.
However, if you really want a regex, here is a way to do:
with preg_match:
$str = "X-Storage-Url: https://pathofanapi";
preg_match('/^([^:]+):\s*(.*)$/', $str, $m);
print_r($m);
output:
Array
(
[0] => X-Storage-Url: https://pathofanapi
[1] => X-Storage-Url
[2] => https://pathofanapi
)
or with preg_split;
$arr = preg_split('/:\s*/', $str, 2);
print_r($arr);
output:
Array
(
[0] => X-Storage-Url
[1] => https://pathofanapi
)
I have the following string
{item1}home::::Home{/item1}{item2}contact_us::::Contact Us{/item2}{item3}.....
and so it goes on.
I need to split the string the following way
1=>{item1}home::::Home{/item1}
2=>{item2}contact_us::::Contact Us{/item2}
Is there a way?
$input = '{item1}home::::Home{/item1}{item2}contact_us::::Contact Us{/item2}{item3}.....';
$regex = '/{(\w+)}.*{\/\1}/';
preg_match_all($regex, $input, $matches);
print_r($matches[0]);
You could do it like this:
$text = "{item1}home::::Home{/item1}{item2}contact_us::::Contact Us{/item2}{item3}.....){/item3}";
preg_match_all('/{item\d}.+?{\/item\d}/', $text, $results);
var_dump($results) would produce:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => {item1}home::::Home{/item1}
[1] => {item2}contact_us::::Contact Us{/item2}
[2] => {item3}.....){/item3}
)
)
Use preg_split() with the regex pattern /{.*?}.*?{\/.*?}/
