Question

How can i array a string, in the format that $_POST does… kind of, well i have this kind of format coming in:

101=1&2020=2&303=3

(Incase your wondering, its the result of jQuery Sortable Serialize…
I want to run an SQL statement to update a field with the RIGHT side of the = sign, where its the left side of the equal sign? I know the SQL for this, but i wanted to put it in a format that i could use the foreach($VAR as $key=>$value) and build an sql statement from that.. as i dont know how many 101=1 there will be?

I just want to explode this in a way that $key = 101 and $value = 1

Sounds confusing 😉
Thanks so so much in advanced!!

Answer 1

$input = "101=1&2020=2&303=3";
$output = array();
$exp = explode('&',$input);
foreach($exp as $e){
   $pair = explode("=",$e);
   $output[$pair[0]] = $pair[1];
}
