Put string into key value array

Question

Hi I got the following string:

info:infotext,
dimensions:dimensionstext

and i need to put these values into an array in PHP. What is the regex function to put these into an array. I studied the regex codes but it's kinds confusing to me.

I want to put the info as the key and he infotext as the value into an array like this:

Array {
[info] => infotext
[dimensions] => dimensionstext
}

Answer 1

Demo here

<?php
$string ='info:infotext,
dimensions:dimensionstext';
$array = array_map(function($v){return explode(':', trim($v));}, explode(',', $string)); 
foreach($array as $v)
{
 $o[$v[0]] = $v[1];
}
print_r($o);

Answer 2

You can use array_chunk and array_combine

 <?php
 $input = 'info:infotext,
 dimensions:dimensionstext';
 $chunks = array_chunk(preg_split('/(:|,)/', $input), 2);
 $result = array_combine(array_column($chunks, 0), array_column($chunks, 1));
 print_r($result);
