Arrays

[common]

Hey

 

I have a string and need to break it up so that the words are the values in a array.

Then i want to create a list of the words, but i want to give the array key next to each word.

For example if i have "Hallo my name is Jan". I want the words in a list and numbers form 0 to 5 next to each word. How do i get the numbers because i've got the words in a list.

<?php
  $string = "Hallo my name is Jan";
  $list = preg_split('/\s+/',$string);
  $array = array_combine($list,range(0,count($list)-1));
  print_r($array);
?>

EDIT: Beaten to it

$string = 'Hallo my name is Jan';

$words = explode(' ', $string);

foreach($words as $key => $value)
{
    echo "$key => $value<br />";
}

Or even use the single function that does exactly this

$sentence = 'Hallo my name is Jan';
$wordsArray = str_word_count($sentence,1);
print_r($wordsArray);
