将伪XML标记解析为数组

Question

I have following string:

$input = '[gallery ids="1151,1150,1149,1148,1147" name="ponny"]';

I need to parse it into an array, so desired output should looks like:

$output = array(
  'ids'  => '1151,1150,1149,1148,1147',
  'name' => 'ponny'
);

Pseudo tag name gallery will be ignored.

What is the most efficient way to do this in PHP ?

Answer 1

I don't know how efficient it is, but you could just turn the input into XML:

$input = '[gallery ids="1151,1150,1149,1148,1147" name="ponny"]';

$xml = str_replace( array( '[', ']' ), array( '<', ' />' ), $input );

var_dump( new SimpleXMLElement( $xml ) );
