如何在php中将数组字符串转换为数组

I have a string, which is comes from js using encodeURICompoent(). Now i would like to convert this string into array. I tried my level best to solve this. But i couldn't find any solution to do this. Any help greatly appreciated.

array string = 'array(0=>array("packid"=>22,"pverid"=>18,"yaml"=>"- url: /static
 static_dir: static

- url: .*
  script: provider.py" ),1=>array("packid"=>23,"pverid"=>19,"yaml"=>"- url: /static
  static_dir: static

- url: .*
  script: provider.py" ));';

Thanking you, sureace

Have a look at the implode function.

It looks like eval should do the job of turning this string into an array.
BUT: You should never, ever use eval, especially with input that you get from external sources, since it opens up a slew of security issues. Instead, you should parse the string by hand, but that's going to be quite a nuisance.

You should find a better way to send the array values, for example via JSON. Especially when sending values from Javascript, this is the usual method.

it would be easier to use serialize or json for transferring an array. (but in that case, you would need a little function on clientside for serializing / json_encode)

EDIT: if encodeURIComponent is you problem, just do a urldecode before json_decode...

It's very hard to understand what you are asking here.

Do you want to convert a yaml string to an php array? If so, try spyc.

yes i tried, but it dosen't solve my problem.

What i want is, I am getting json objects from client side to php, which contains encoded data string using javascript encodeURIComponent(). If it contains this data, i am unable to convert this object into array using json_decode() function.

json string=packs="{\"packid\":\"22\",\"pverid\":\"18\",\"yaml\":\"-%20url%3A%20%2Fstatic%0A%20%20static_dir%3A%20static%0A%0A-%20url%3A%20.%0A%20%20script%3A%20provider.py\"},{\"packid\":\"23\",\"pverid\":\"19\",\"yaml\":\"-%20url%3A%20%2Fstatic%0A%20%20static_dir%3A%20static%0A%0A-%20url%3A%20.%0A%20%20script%3A%20provider.py\"}"

As mentioned by deceze, you can use eval() to turn this string into a PHP array, but whether you should or not is another matter...

$myCodeString = 'array(0=>ar ...... etc.';  // Your coded string

eval('$myArray = '.$myCodeString);
var_dump($myArray);

Which at least returns a valid PHP array:

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["packid"]=>
    int(22)
    ["pverid"]=>
    int(18)
    ["yaml"]=>
    string(71) "- url: /static
 static_dir: static

- url: .*
  script: provider.py"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(3) {
    ["packid"]=>
    int(23)
    ["pverid"]=>
    int(19)
    ["yaml"]=>
    string(72) "- url: /static
  static_dir: static

- url: .*
  script: provider.py"
  }
}

You probably want to parse your "yaml" fields some more...?
