php list directly to array

Question

Here is the code I have now.

$Top3Things = explode(';',$Top3Things);
foreach($Top3Things as $key => $Thing)
    $Top3Things[$key] = explode('|',$Thing);

I know that explode return an indexed array. But I thought there is a function I can put explode into and pass the names that will return an associative array.

I know this is not the answer but here is an example of what I'm looking for.

$Top3Things[$key] = (list($type,$size,$weight) = explode('|',$Thing));

The function you're looking for is array_combine().

<?php
$keys = ['type', 'size', 'weight'];
$values = explode(';', $Top3Things);
$combinedArray = array_combine($keys, $values);
