PHP implementation of Perl code

hi,

how can I best translate this to PHP from Perl? I realize PHP doesn't have Perl-type hashes. The code in Perl :

foreach $line {
($key,$value) = split("=",$line);
$list{$key} = $value;
}

Many Thanks!!

Is that proper perl? foreach $line and then calling $line itself inside the loop?

Anyway, PHP does have hashes, but they are called associative arrays:

$my_array["hello"]=4;

check the manual on split() and list().

Did you mean foreach $line (@lines) {...}?

You can do something very similar in PHP using version 4's new foreach construct, which is used like this:

<?php
foreach ($lines as $line) {
}
?>

Where $lines is an array. Or, you can do this:

<?php
foreach ($lines as $index=>$key) {
}
?>

This is particularly useful when dealing with string-indexed arrays (aka associative arrays, aka hashes).
