I try to found a function which build a multidimensional array after an explode.
For example : Here I create array with as explode.
$str = 'root/foo/bar/file.jpg';
$ar = explode('/', $str);
$ar => array('root', 'foo' , 'bar', 'file.jpg');
Then I want this ouput :
array(3) {
['root']=>
['foo']=>
['bar']=> "file.jpg"
}
Any Idea ?
Thx
Here is one way that this problem can be approached.
<?php
$str = 'root/foo/bar/file.jpg';
$parts = explode("/", $str);
$leaf = array_pop($parts);
$tree = array();
$branch = &$tree;
foreach($parts as $v){
$branch[$v] = array();
$branch = &$branch[$v];
}
$branch = $leaf;
print_r($tree);
Try it yourself here
$branch[$v] = $leaf; should be $branch = $leaf;
<?php
$str = 'root/foo/bar/file.jpg';
//Get last part of the filename
$parts = explode('/', $str);
$last = array_pop($parts);
$arr = [];
//Create code as string to fill in array
$codeParts = implode("']['", $parts);
$codeEx = "\$arr['{$codeParts}'] = \$last;";
eval($codeEx);
var_dump($arr);
Output:
array(1) {
["root"]=>
array(1) {
["foo"]=>
array(1) {
["bar"]=>
string(8) "file.jpg"
}
}
}
If eval() is the answer, you're almost certainly asking the wrong question. -- Rasmus Lerdorf, BDFL of PHP
