Suppose I have a comma separated string like as follows:
1,Sunday,2,Monday,3,Tuesday,4,Wednesday,5,Thursday,6,Friday,7,Saturday
How can I make it an pairwise array in PHP like as follows --
array
(
[1] => Sunday,
[2] => Monday,
[3] => Tuesday,
[4] => Wednesday,
[5] => Thursday,
[6] => Friday,
[7] => Saturday,
);
Simple answer (requires PHP >= 5.5.0): if you don't need the trailing comma at the end of each value
$string = '1,Sunday,2,Monday,3,Tuesday,4,Wednesday,5,Thursday,6,Friday,7,Saturday';
$data = array_chunk(
explode(',', $string),
2
);
$newArray = array_combine(
array_column($data, 0),
array_column($data, 1)
);
var_dump($newArray);
If you do need the trailing comma, you can add:
array_walk(
$newArray,
function(&$value) {
$value .= ',';
}
);
If you have such static data like weekdays and weekday numbers, it certainly would be the easiest to just use a static array:
$weekdays = array(
1 => 'Sunday',
2 => 'Monday',
3 => 'Tuesday',
4 => 'Wednesday',
5 => 'Thursday',
6 => 'Friday',
7 => 'Saturday',
);
If you have to parse your comma separated string, you can use this:
$string = '1,Sunday,2,Monday,3,Tuesday,4,Wednesday,5,Thursday,6,Friday,7,Saturday';
$parts = explode(',', $string);
$weekdays = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($parts); ) {
$weekdays[$parts[$i]] = $parts[++$i];
++$i;
}
print_r($weekdays);
Output:
Array
(
[1] => Sunday
[2] => Monday
[3] => Tuesday
[4] => Wednesday
[5] => Thursday
[6] => Friday
[7] => Saturday
)
It ain't pretty, but it does the job :).
This'll work for you.
$string = '1,Sunday,2,Monday,3,Tuesday,4,Wednesday,5,Thursday,6,Friday,7,Saturday.';
$dtd = explode(',', $string);
$array = array();
$i = 1;
foreach ($dtd as $key => $value){
if($key % 2 == 1){
$array[$i++] = $value;
}
}
print_r($array);//Array ( [1] => Sunday [2] => Monday [3] => Tuesday [4] => Wednesday [5] => Thursday [6] => Friday [7] => Saturday. )
