Conver some key/value pairs into an array

[bink]

Hey guys,

Sorry there might be an easy solution to this but I have been coding all day and can't come up with anything very elegant.

I am passing some data to my CC processor and they give me some key value pairs in return but not in an array...just plain text.

the returned variable looks like this:

ssl_result=1
ssl_result_message=The transaction request was unable to be completed:  DECLINED CVV2

Of course on approved transactions and for other errors the keys can be different and there will be more than two.

I basically want to use this to create an array where we have:

( ["ssl_result"] => 1, ["ssl_result_message"] => ssl_result_message)

Hope that makes sense!

You can first split the data into an array by line, then loop through that result to populate your final array:

$response_array = preg_split('/[\r\n]+/', $response_string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
$response_result = array();
foreach($response_array as $line)
{
   list($key, $value) = explode('=', $line, 2);
   $response_result[$key] = $value;
}
