Need some help with this Data

savj14

Here is an example of the data I have:

[NTSC/J (Excludes China), NTSC/U] Verified 2009-10-09, XEX CRC: B43E96DC, Media ID: 7064773F, 3rd Wave

I want to separate them like so:

$Var1 = NTSC/J (Excludes China), NTSC/U;
$Var2 = Verified 2009-10-09;
$Var3 = B43E96DC;
$Var4 = 7064773F;
$var5 = 3rd Wave;

The data will pretty much always be in the same format. Except $Var1 could look like [Some Data]. It will always be within [] and there will always be a comma separating each of the $Vars. Except for $Var1 and $Var2 as you can see from the example.

How do I go about doing this?

I can get everything separated now, except $Var1 needs to be separated

$data = "[NTSC/J (Excludes China), NTSC/U] Verified 2009-10-09, XEX CRC: B43E96DC, Media ID: 7064773F, 3rd Wave";
list($Var1, $Var2, $Var3,$Var4) = split('[,]', $data);
$Var2 = str_replace("XEX CRC:","",$Var2);
$Var3 = str_replace("Media ID:","",$Var3);
$Var4 = str_replace("Wave","",$Var4);

So if I Echo this out I get:

Var1: [NTSC/J (Excludes China), NTSC/U] Verified 2009-10-09
Var2: B43E96DC
Var3: 7064773F
Var4: 3rd

So I now I just need [NTSC/J (Excludes China), NTSC/U] and Verified 2009-10-09 to be separate Vars

explode('] ' ...
ltrim(..., '[')

Also, since split has been deprecated, you should avoid it in favour of explode.
