使用PHP中的索引值来分解字符串值

Question

I have a string that has been concatenated by the rows and columns that has be separated by using the special characters. Below is my code:

$strMaterialDetails = '13-"9"Strawberry%*DEALER%*15%*25%*375%*7.500%*7.500%*28.13%*2.000%*2.000%*6.94@^$14-"9" Yellow white Acrylic Long Pile Ext Roller Set%*DISTRIBUTOR%*45%*75%*3375%*2.500%*2.500%*84.38%*5.000%*5.000%*164.53@^$';

$pairs = explode('@^$', $strMaterialDetails);

foreach ($pairs as $pair) {
    list($product, $store, $qty, $unit, $total_price, $discount, $discount_percen, $discount_value, $tax, $tax_percen, $tax_val) = explode('%*', $pair);

    echo $store;
}

It works fine I have to insert the values into the database if I print the $store it will print DEALERDISTRIBUTOR

I want to seperate this I don't know how to do. The string here entered is unknown.

Please give any suggestion.

Answer 1

Why not store it in an array?

$stores = array();
foreach ($pairs as $pair) {
    list($product,$store,$qty,$unit,$total_price,$discount,$discount_percen,$discount_value,$tax,$tax_percen,$tax_val) = explode('%*', $pair);    
    $stores[] = $store;
}

print_r($stores); // will contain DEALER at 0th index and DISTRIBUTOR at 1st index
