multi-explode

mystic

Here's a weird one..

I am trying to do an explode within an explode from an array that is using two different types of seperates.. seperating numbers and letters into 'groups'..
numbers:letters/numbers:letters
the numbers:letters is one 'group' then a / then numbers:letters is the second 'group'
but I alos need to be explode the groups into usable variables..

I have an array like this..
10:S MW/20😃HTS/10😃 HCS/60:RN
(called $Array1) and I want to seperate the values into variables using explode()..

$Array2 = explode("/",$Array1);
$Array2Count = count($Array2);
$X=0;
while ($X<$Array2Count) {
 echo $Array2[$X]."<BR>";
}

This would give me ..
10:S MW
20😃HTS
10😃 HCS
60:RN

ok so far..but this is where I am having trouble..
I want to break those down using explode also..

I am trying to do something like this, but it's not working..

$Array2 = explode("/",$Array1);
$Array2Count = count($Array2);
$X=0;
$Z=0;
while ($X<$Array2Count) 
{
 // echo $Array2[$X]."<BR>";
 $Array2b=explode(":",$Array2);
 $Array2bCount = count($Array2b);
 while ($Z<$Array2bCount) 
 {
   echo $Array2b[$Z];
   $Z = ($Z+1);
 }
$X = ($X+1);
}

What I am trying to do is seperate them so that each 'group' (seperated by FWD-SLASH ) is put into an array that I can then explode into a different array and can show on the screen using variables.
I am not sure how many 'groups' there will be in the $Array1 at the start though.. so I can use static-code like

 echo $Array2b[2];

or anything..

I basically want all the elements seperated, but have to use 2 different types of seperators instead of just one so that I can know which number goes with which set of letters.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Thanx,

Heres a working one for you. It prints the multidimensional array at the end telling you what array is what.

$Array1="10:S MW/20:DHTS/10:D HCS/60:RN";
$Array2 = explode("/",$Array1);

for ($i=0; $i<count($Array2); $i++)
{
	$Array3[$i]=explode(":",$Array2[$i]);
}

$k=0;
while (each($Array3))
{
	for ($t=0; $t<count($Array3[$k]); $t++)
	{
		echo "Array [$k][$t] : {$Array3[$k][$t]}<br>";
	}
$k++;
}

Than you for the reply..
unfortunatly, I forgot to mention something that complicates this procedure abit..

$Array1="10:S MW/20:DHTS/10:D HCS/60:RN";
$Array2 = explode("/",$Array1);
for ($i=0; $i<count($Array2); $i++)
{
   $Array3[$i]=explode(":",$Array2[$i]);
}
$k=0;
while (each($Array3))
{
   for ($t=0; $t<count($Array3[$k]); $t++)
   {
       echo "Array [$k][$t] : {$Array3[$k][$t]}<br>";
   }
$k++;
}

That code displays this:

Array [0][0] : 10
Array [0][1] : S MW
Array [1][0] : 20
Array [1][1] : DHTS
Array [2][0] : 10
Array [2][1] : D HCS
Array [3][0] : 60
Array [3][1] : RN

Now, lets say there is a variable called $TOTAL.

$TOTAL = "40.25";

I want the 1st set of values in each 'group' in the $Array1 to be a percentage of $TOTAL and assigned that value to the second set in each group.

something like this..
using the formula

$Value2_from $ArrayGroup = $Value1_from_ArrayGroup *$TOTAL / 100

S MW = 4.025
(10*40.25/100 = 4.025)
(10% of 40.25)

DHTS = 8.05
(20% of 40.25)

D HCS = 4.025

(10% of 40.25)

RN = 24.15
(60 % of 40.25)

so the display would looke like this

TOTAL = 40.25

S MW = 4.025
DHTS = 8.05
D HCS = 4.025
RN = 24.15

I am not really sure that make sence but I sure hope so..

Again, Thank you very much,

That last post was a little messed up so I will try again...

$Array1="10:S MW/20:DHTS/10:D HCS/60:RN";
//
// Data stored in $Array1 is actually retreives from
// a MySQL database..
// there are 4 'groups' in that array.. containing 2 elements each
// the first 'group is '10' and 'S MW'
// the second group is '20' and DHTS etc..
// the first element is each group is ging to be a percentage
// .. the second part is a CODE that is going to be assigned 
// the preceding percentage
// so the first group says S MW = 10%
//
// seperate the $Array1 into 'groups'
$Array2 = explode("/",$Array1);
for ($i=0; $i<count($Array2); $i++)
{
   // seperate 'groups' into each element
   $Array3[$i]=explode(":",$Array2[$i]);
}
$k=0;
while (each($Array3))
{
   for ($t=0; $t<count($Array3[$k]); $t++)
   {
       echo "Array [$k][$t] : {$Array3[$k][$t]}<br>";
   }
$k++;
}

That code displays this:

Array [0][0] : 10
Array [0][1] : S MW
Array [1][0] : 20
Array [1][1] : DHTS
Array [2][0] : 10
Array [2][1] : D HCS
Array [3][0] : 60
Array [3][1] : RN

Now, lets say there is a variable called $TOTAL.

$TOTAL = "40.25";

I want the 1st set of values in each 'group' in the $Array1 to be a percentage of $TOTAL and assigned that value to the second set in each group.

something like this..

using the formula to get the percentage

$Value2_from $ArrayGroup = $Value1_from_ArrayGroup *$TOTAL / 100

the first group from Array1 is '10: S MW'
so I want 10% of $TOTAL to be assinged to 'S MW'

S MW = 4.025
(10*40.25/100 = 4.025)
(10% of 40.25)

DHTS = 8.05
(20% of 40.25)

D HCS = 4.025
(10% of 40.25)

RN = 24.15
(60 % of 40.25)

so the display would looke like this

TOTAL = 40.25

S MW = 4.025
DHTS = 8.05
D HCS = 4.025

RN = 24.15

I am not really sure that make sence but I sure hope so..
