Hi folks -
I have a question with string manipulation. I'm new to PHP, hence any help you provide will be appreciated.
I have a string that looks like this:
$str = 'active|b:1;loans|i:2;name|s:12:"Abcd Efgh";email|s:17:"abcd@efgh.com";ip|s:14:"111.110.11.111"';
I want to extract each value separately.. for example:
name= "Abcd Efgh"
email="abcd@efgh.com"
I started using explode, but I'm sure there is a better function to split this string. Any ideas ?

Code: Select all
$str = 'active|b:1;loans|i:2;name|s:12:"Abcd Efgh";email|s:17:"abcd@efgh.com";ip|s:14:"111.110.11.111"';
$rows = array();
$data = array();
$data2 = array();
$rows = explode(';',$str);
$i=0;
foreach($rows as $value){
$data = explode('|',$value);
$data2 = explode(':',$data[1]);
$arrData[$i]['label'] = $data[0];
$arrData[$i]['type'] =$data2[0];
$arrData[$i]['length'] =$data2[1];
$arrData[$i]['txt'] =$data2[2];
$i++;
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($arrData);
echo '</pre>';
// Prints out this
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[label] => active
[type] => b
[length] => 1
[txt] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[label] => loans
[type] => i
[length] => 2
[txt] =>
)
[2] => Array
(
[label] => name
[type] => s
[length] => 12
[txt] => "Abcd Efgh"
)
[3] => Array
(
[label] => email
[type] => s
[length] => 17
[txt] => "abcd@efgh.com"
)
[4] => Array
(
[label] => ip
[type] => s
[length] => 14
[txt] => "111.110.11.111"
)
)

Re: Beginner Help
That's actually session encoded data (what you posted isn't valid because you changed the name/email/ip/etc.). Where did you get it/why does it need to be in that format? This will restore it back to the session so you can use it:
Code: Select all
session_start();
session_decode($str);
print_r($_SESSION);mysql_function(): WARNING: This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQLextension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information.
