collecting information from an array

[jay3ld]

I have this file I can't parse because there would be lots of errors and undefined errors.

So I am using regex to pull out the array information

 

I have a basic array like this lets say:

$my_array = array(
    'key' => "value",
    'another_key' => 'another_value'
);

 

So far I have accomplished finding the first part of the array with:

preg_match_all("~\\\$([a-zA-Z0-9]+) = array\(([\s]+)('([a-zA-Z0-9]+)' => \"(.+?)\"(,))+[\s]+~", $contents, $matches);

 

The problem is I can't figure out how to get the second item from the array, or a possible third, or possible fourth, etc.

 

I thought adding () around it and giving it a + would do this. But it doesn't seem to do this.

Anyone know what I did wrong here?

2nd item from $my_array

$keys = array_keys($my_array);
echo $my_array[$keys[1]];

The problem is the php code with the array. Is basically plain text and not parsable without causing issues.. I am wanting to pull out its information though.

are you try this

<?php
$text = '$my_array = array(
    \'key\' => "value",
    \'another_key\' => \'another_value\'
);';
eval($text);
print_r($my_array);
?>

How about something like this?

 

<pre>
<?php
$data = <<<DATA
\$my_array = array(
    'key' => "value",
    'another_key' => 'another_value'
);
DATA;

preg_match_all('/^\s*(\$\S+\s*=\s*array\(.*?\);)/ms', $data, $matches);
array_shift($matches);
print_r($matches);
foreach ($matches[0] as &$match) {
	preg_match('/^\s*\$(\S+)/', $match, $name);
	eval('$array = ' . $match);
	$result[$name[1]] = $array;
}

print_r($result);
?>
</pre>

Thank you,

While it wasn't exactly what I wanted. After some tweaking I got it working exactly how I needed it to.
