Need to convert string to array

CLCook · 09-27-2008, 02:35 PM

Hi guys,

This seems really simple to me, but I've had no luck. I need help! :)

I've got file upload script which is working just fine. Here's the code I'm using to define the file extensions which are uploadable.

PHP Code:


			
$uploadtypes = array( "png", "gif", "jpeg", "jpe", "jpg", "fla", "html", "doc");

So, here's my problem. I want this editable in the GUI. So, I added a field in my MySQL database and had $uploadtypes equal the field.

I've tried several functions to separate the values and to explode into an array. No luck.

I want the end-use to type "png, gif, jpeg, fla" etc into a string. Then, I need that coverted into the PHP line above.

Any suggestions?

Don't know if I'm getting you very well but you could use the

serialize
unserialize

functions

Something like:

PHP Code:


			
$types = Array('tiff');

$str = 'png,gif,jpg';



$types = array_merge(implode(',', $str), $types);
