Question

I have string from mysql in this format

1.name.2.name,3.name.8.name

I have this

$arr=split(“,”,$str);$count=count($arr);

this will make 2 arrays, but I want to write it itemized

for ($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
echo $arr[$i];
// when $i=0 here must be 1 name 2 name and when $i=1 3 name 8 name
}

this is still right, but now I want inside loop write values from $arr[$i], I need to split them by dott. Is it possible?

Answer 1

You don’t need any loop

$string = "1.name.2.name,3.name.8.name";
$array = explode(",", $string);
var_dump($array);

Output

array (size=2)
  0 => string '1.name.2.name' (length=13)
  1 => string '3.name.8.name' (length=13)

If you want to break it further

$array = array_map(function($v){return explode(".", $v); },$array);
var_dump($array);

Output

array (size=2)
  0 => 
    array (size=4)
      0 => string '1' (length=1)
      1 => string 'name' (length=4)
      2 => string '2' (length=1)
      3 => string 'name' (length=4)
  1 => 
    array (size=4)
      0 => string '3' (length=1)
      1 => string 'name' (length=4)
      2 => string '8' (length=1)
      3 => string 'name' (length=4)
