[SOLVED] Complex Array Here!

[elpaisa]

Hi!

 

I have a string like this stored in a cookie, 1{2,3,4,5,6,7}.2{8,10,20,12,} , I want to split this string in an array, where the first number represents a parent for each group of {}. and each number of the group split it into an array that can use in a for loop, this is a string built for products options in a shopping cart, if any of you know another good method to store the product options, please tell me.

 

Thnx!

All your help is needed and welcome!.

Is this what you're after?

 

<pre>
<?php
echo $str = '1{2,3,4,5,6,7}.2{8,10,20,12,}';
$pieces = preg_split('/[.{}]/', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
$count = 0;
foreach ($pieces as $piece) {
	if ($count % 2 == 0) {
		$result[$piece] = preg_split('/,/', $pieces[$count+1], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
	}
	++$count;
}
echo '<hr>';
print_r($result);
?>
</pre>
