Has anyone out there stumbled over the issue of making multi-dimensional arrays out of bracket-separated strings? In a less fuzzy way of putting it: $str = "[layer1][layer2][layer3][layer4]" would become $str_array = Array( [layer1] => Array( [layer2] => Array( [layer3] => Array( [layer4] ) ) ) ); ...or something similar. Passing values is not an issue at the moment, it's just the recursive thinking that keeps bugging me right now, and my temporary solution to this matter is not even mentionable! I would really like PHP to have a function of building expressions with strings, and then execute them through a function - but that's just me it seems :-) -- Kim Christensen kim.christensen@xxxxxxxxx
how about... $str = '[layer1][layer2][layer3][layer4]'; eval('$str_array'.$str.' = "";'); ? (obviously the value can be anything at the end) - tul -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
