php retrieve specific value in a array

Question

I am trying to retrieve the specific value in a array but it says undefined

below is the sample array

[customfield_10007] => Array ( [0] => com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint@13e19f2[id=70,rapidViewId=27,state=CLOSED,name=Sprint 1,goal=,startDate=2015-11-16T14:53:46.428+05:30,endDate=2015-12-11T14:53:00.000+05:30,completeDate=2015-12-16T11:43:21.799+05:30,sequence=70] )

I wanted to retrieve state=CLOSED. Could you please let me know how I can achieve this

Thanks in Advance,

Your state key is part of string and not array itself. You might to check each value of array if it contains state=CLOSED using strpos or similar function — unalignedmemoryaccess

My guess is you did something wrong when you were interpreting the array and ended up with the wrong structure. — apokryfos

Starting from your array, you can cycle it with this snippet

foreach ($array as $string) {
    preg_match('/state=(\w+)/', $string[0], $matches);
    var_dump($matches);
}

It should be clear. Then you can do what you need with $matches.

thanks. will the preg_match removes the special characters.?

what do you mean? in $matches you'll have to different string, one completed, as you asked and one just saying COMPLETE

sometimes state=Completed or state=Completed_success_0904 . So I want whatever the value given to state

basically I want everything under state=AB Sprint 13, till the comma. It may contain special characters space and alphanumeric.
