My string looks like:
[10,20,30]
I want to convert it to an array.
I've tried:
$myArray=explode(",",$myString);
print_r($myArray);
But this is returning:
Array ( [0] => [10 [1] => 20 [2] => 30] )
I need to get rid of the opening/closing brackets.
Can someone help?
An array of numbers in that particular format is valid JSON, so you can use PHP’s built-in function:
$myArray = json_decode($myString);
I think you can remove the square brackets first with str_replace function. Then you can simply do the rest. This will work I think.
$inputString = "[10,20,30]";
$processString = str_replace(array('[',']') ,'' , $inputString);
$outputArray = explode(',' , $processString);
var_dump($outputArray);
//output:
//array(3) { [0]=> string(2) "10" [1]=> string(2) "20" [2]=> string(2) "30" }
