How to convert a string format into an array format?
I have a string, $string = 'abcde'
I want to convert it to a 1 element array
$string[0] = 'abcde'
Is there a built in function for this task? Or the shortest way is to
$string = 'abcde';
$array[0] = $string;
$string = $array;
TIA
All kinds of ways in php..
$array = array('abcde');
$array[] = 'abcde';
Etc... not too sure what you're going for.
Edit: Oh, I think you might want to convert the first variable? Like this?
//Define the string
$myString = 'abcde';
//Convert the same variable to an array
$myString = array($myString);
Edit 2: Ahh, your comment above I think clears it up a little. You're getting back either an array or a string and don't know which. If you do what I just said above, you might get an array inside an array and you don't want that. So cast instead:
$someReturnValue = "a string";
$someReturnValue = (array)$someReturnValue;
print_r($someReturnValue);
//returns
Array
(
[0] => a string
)
$someReturnValue = array("a string inside an array");
$someReturnValue = (array)$someReturnValue;
print_r($someReturnValue);
//returns
Array
(
[0] => a string inside an array
)
Lets not forget the standard way of declaring a string as an array in PHP, before adding elements..
$string = array();

I have values like
"34,37"
and I want to create array using this values, array like
array('34','37')
How to create such array if I have values.
hope this will help you :
you can use explode function if you have values as string;
$string = '34,37';
$data = explode(',',$string):
print_r($data); /*output array*/
for more : http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php
If you have a string like this:
$str = "1,2,3,4,5,6";
And you want to convert it into array, just use explode()
$myArray = explode(',', $str);
var_dump($myArray);
Have a look here for more information
As per my comment, you should use preg_split function. for more details about preg_split function please read PHP manual and also you can use explode function Explode function PHP manual
<?php
$string = '34,37';
$keywords = preg_split("/[\s,]+/", $string);
//OR $keywords = preg_split("/,/", $string); separated by comma only
print_r($keywords);
you can check your desired Output here
Try this,
$val = "34,37"
$val = explode(',', $val);
print_r($val);
output of above array:
Array
(
[0] => 34,
[1] => 37
)
I want to get the count of each variable in an array.
Am getting the object like [1,1,2,2,3,4,5,4,6]
$array = array(12,43,66,21,56,43,43,78,78,100,43,43,43,21);
$vals = array_count_values($array);
This function is the solution. But I can't make the collection object to string or array.
I noticed this is tagged with laravel, in that case you could do collect($vals)->toArray(). If I remember correctly.
edit: you are looking for the php function implode.

string implode ( string $glue , array $pieces )
What is the best way to split the below $string to get the array $cars in PHP?
$string = '{xa}{y}{z12}{123}{2}{aabb}';
$cars = array("{xa}","{y}","{z12}", "{123}", "{2}", "{aabb}");
I need each array element with brackets eg : {xa}
$string = str_replace("}{","},{",$string);
$x = explode(',',$string);
I have one string variable as
$p_list="1,2,3,4";
i want to convert it to an array such as
$a[0]='1';
$a[1]='2';
$a[2]='3';
$a[3]='4';
how to do this in php?
Use explode.
$p_list = "1,2,3,4";
$array = explode(',', $p_list);
See Codepad.
Try explode $a=explode(",","1,2,3,4");
Try this:
In PHP, explode function will convert string to array, If string has certain pattern.
<?php
$p_list = "1,2,3,4";
$noArr = explode(",", $p_list);
var_dump($noArr);
?>
You will get array with values stores in it.
Thanks
