I've got a variable going like this(in the original list there no whitespace): http://www.iso.org/iso/list-en1-semic-3.txt
$country ="
ÅLAND ISLANDS;AX
ALBANIA;AL
ALGERIA;DZ
";
(going on and on in the same order)
I like to put this in a array going like this:
array: [Åland Islands] ==> AX
[Albania] ==> AL
[Algeria] ==> DZ
I've try to use php explode but that doesn't work, my knowledge is to basic to get it right. Who can help?
print_r(explode(';', $country));
This will get you where you're going:
$output = array();
// break it line-by-line
$lines = explode('\n', $country);
// iterate through the lines.
foreach( $lines as $line )
{
// just make sure that the line's whitespace is cleared away
$line = trim( $line );
if( $line )
{
// break the line at the semi-colon
$pieces = explode( ";", $line );
// the first piece now serves as the index.
// The second piece as the value.
$output[ $pieces[ 0 ] ] = $pieces[ 1 ];
}
}
$result = array();
$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $country);
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$line = explode(';', $line);
$result[array_shift($line)] = array_shift($line);
}
$a = explode("\n", $country);
$result = array();
foreach($a as $line) {
list($x,$y) = explode(";", $line);
$result[$x] = $y;
}
Note: remove extra empty lines from $country or check for empty lines.
