Question

Well I was just wondering how can I put this semicolon separated string into an array

one,two,three; four,five,six; if( i < x { "seven,eight"; } if( x < i ) { nine; }

The result I need would be

[0] => one,two,three
[1] => four,five,six
[2] => if( i < x { "seven,eight"; } if( x < i ) { nine; }

I know how to explode those separated values but I’m stuck in this

if( i < x { "seven,eight"; } if( x < i ) { nine; }

The original data is this

bonus2 bAddRace,RC_DemiHuman,80; bonus2 bIgnoreDefRate,RC_DemiHuman,30; if(getrefine()>=6) { bonus2 bAddRace,RC_DemiHuman,40; } if(getrefine()>=9) {  autobonus2 "{ bonus bShortWeaponDamageReturn,20; bonus bMagicDamageReturn,20; }",200,1000,BF_WEAPON,"{ specialeffect2 EF_REFLECTSHIELD; }"; }

The code I’ve tried so far is this

function build_item_script_options( $data = array() )
{
    $html = "";
    $bonus_txt = "";
    $bonus_opts = "";
    $bonus_opts_array = array();

    $script = explode( ";", $data['script'] );
    for( $i = 0; $i <= count( $script ) - 1; $i++ )
    {
        if( strtolower( substr( $script[$i], 0, 5 ) ) == 'bonus' )
        {
            $bonus = explode( ',', $script[$i] );
            for( $k = 1; $k <= $bonus[$i] - 1; $k++ )
            {
                array_push( $bonus_opts_array, $bonus[$i][$k] );
            }
            $bonus_txt = $bonus[0];
            $bonus_opts = implode( ',', $bonus_opts_array );
        }
        else
        {
            $bonus_txt = $script[$i];
        }

        $html .= "<option opts=\"" . $bonus_opts . "\" value=\"" . $bonus_txt . "\" selected=selected>" . $bonus_txt . "</option>";
    }

    return $html;
}

Is this what you need?

$str = 'one,two,three; four,five,six; if( i < x { "seven,eight"; } if( x < i ) { nine; }';
$str = explode("; ", $str, 3);
print_r($str);

** EDIT **

You could also try this:

$open_brackets = '0';
$string = '';
$str = 'one,two,three; four,five,six; if( i < x { "seven,eight"; } if( x < i ) { nine; }';
$split = str_split($str);
foreach($split as $bracket){
$string .= $bracket;
if($open_brackets == '0' && $bracket == ';'){
$string = substr_replace($string, "*", -1);
}
if($bracket == '{'){
$open_brackets++;
}
if($bracket == '}'){
$open_brackets--;
}
}
$string = explode('* ', $string);
print_r($string);
