Question

I have a string that contains associative array like that

$string = "['key1'=>'value1','key2'=>'value2','key3'=>'value3']";

and I want to convert it to an associative array so i can loop through it.

is there any way to do it ?

Thanks in advance .

Very simple way is convert that string to json and decode

$string = str_replace(["'", '=>', '[', ']'], ['"', ':', '{', '}'], $string);
print_r(json_decode($string, true));
