create multidimensional array-Structure based on other Array [duplicate]

Question

How to handle if I want to create an array like in following example:

$value="test";
$array=[];
$path=[2,17,513];

Now, I want to build an array based on the available data which should look like:

$array['2']['17']['513']='test';

Anyone any idea?

I tried array_shift to prepare but I miss the point where the single array data will be transformed to an array key....

if not, you could build a recursive function. Could you provide us more details? With more lines in $array, $path? Ty — Alexandre Tranchant

-1

$value="test";
$array=[];
$path = [2, 17, 513];

[$a, $b, $c] = explode(",", $path);


$array[$a][$b][$c] = $value;


print_r($array[$a][$b][$c]); //returns 'test'
