How do I build an array from a delimited

israfel

I know there is a way to do this. What I want to do is keep lists of things in database cells.

Let's say I want to create an array of ip numbers which are banned and the name of the user.

If this string is in the database:

10.0.0.1|crowley|192.168.1.100|lavey

How could I create an array called $ips with crowley and lavey as keys and the ip numbers as values?

this code does what you want it to, but if there are more ips and more "indexes" it wo'nt work. But this is just for getting an idea how that could work:

<?
$str = "10.0.0.1|crowley|192.168.1.100|lavey";
$arrExp = explode("|",$str);
$arr = Array();
$arrIps = array (
"$arrExp[1]" => $arrExp[0],
"$arrExp[3]" => $arrExp[2]
);
?>

Why don't you use to different separators ??
10.0.0.1:crowley|192.168.1.100:lavey
instead of
10.0.0.1|crowley|192.168.1.100|lavey

Then you would just have to use explode...

$string = "10.0.0.1:crowley|192.168.1.100:lavey";
$ips_arr = explode("|", $string);
for($i = 0; $i < count($ips_arr); $i++) {
$ips_arr[$i] = explode(":", $ips_arr[$i]);
}

This would give :

$ips_array = array(
0 => array ( 0 => "10.0.0.1", 1 => "crowley" ),
1 => array( 0 => "192.168.1.100", 1 => "lavey")
)
