Question

I have a string like this:

$string = '"Joe Bob" "John Doe" "Amber Page" "Jordan Tole"';

I want to store it in an array with each item in between the ” ” being an element inside of the array.

e.g.

$Array = StringToArray($string);

Answer 1

Using a combination of PHP’s explode function and substr you could use to build an array of the names like this:

$string = '"Joe Bob" "John Doe" "Amber Page" "Jordan Tole"';
$string = substr($string,1,-1);
$names = explode('" "', $string);

This would output the following:

Array
(
    [0] => Joe Bob
    [1] => John Doe
    [2] => Amber Page
    [3] => Jordan Tole
)
