Question

I have a multidimensinal array.. Something like this for example:

Array (     [0] => Array         (             [title] => Star Trek - Viaje a las estrellas             [country] => Venezuela, Spain, long title, poster title         )      [1] => Array         (             [title] => Viaje a Las Estrellas             [country] => Venezuela         ) ) 

I want to get te text between commas from [country] and insert each element into separate indexes, for example:

Array (     [0] => Array         (             [title] => Star Trek - Viaje a las estrellas             [country] => [0] => Venezuela                          [1] => Spain                          [2] => long title                          [3] => poster title         )      [1] => Array         (             [title] => Viaje a Las Estrellas             [country] => Venezuela         ) ) 

Probably the array layout is incorrect but I just want to explain to you what I need to do. Note that not always [country] contains elements separated by commas, sometimes is just one single element.

How can I do it??

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try using explode() on the country element. You can use a separator of ', ', since these are comma-separated values.

One way to do it (which is similar to how others have suggested) would be:

// Assuming that $data contains your multidimensional array... for ($i = 0; $i < count($data); $i++) {     if (strstr($data[$i]['country'], ', '))     {         $data[$i]['country'] = explode(', ', $data[$i]['country']);     } } 

Also, note that you don’t really need to use strpos()—strstr() works perfectly here.
