Parse array element containing comma-separated and quoted strings to generate a new array of elements

Question

Now my array is Storing values like

Array([0] => "Aaa", "bbb", "ccc")

How can I make this Array as below using PHP

Array[0] = "Aaa", Array[1] = "bbb", Array[2] = "ccc"

How to make like this. I tried with explode its not taking values correctly.

$oldarray[0]='"abc","def","hij"';
$oldarray[1]='"abc","def","hij"';
$newarray=array();
foreach ($oldarray as $value) {
    $newarray[] = str_replace('"','',explode(',',$value));
    //print_r($value);die();
}
print_r($newarray);

Use explode

Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string delimiter comma.

$array1 = explode(',',$array[0]);

Use str_replace to remove double quotes

 str_replace('"', '', $array[0]);
 $array1 = explode(',',str_replace('"', '',$array[0]));

Check array1[0], array1[1] and array1[2] to find your values

Use explode to split the value in multiple values based on the coma, use str_replace to remove the quotes :

you do something like this

$newarray = explode(',',str_replace('"', "",$oldarray[]));

or:

$newarray = explode('","',trim($oldarray[],'"'));

This is not retrieving any value simply returns 0th index as empty

If the String is like in this case "Entrusting upon credible vendors for high-grade raw materials, we manufacture and supply premium quality Car Bumper." It explode till raw materials, as index1 and remaining in index 2 but I want total sentence as single index

You have quote-wrapped values in a regularly formatted csv string -- there is a native tool for parsing that. Call str_getcsv() on the first element and save it back to the original array variable if you like.

Code: (Demo)

$array = ['"Aaa", "bbb", "ccc"'];

$array = str_getcsv($array[0]);

var_export($array);

Output:

array (
  0 => 'Aaa',
  1 => 'bbb',
  2 => 'ccc',
)
