I have users that when they do a certain thing on the website, it writes to a txt file something similiar to this:

id=242810&type=test_event&signature=d64bb5ba162774f03005879b2954b1d44c2d56ee×tamp=2011-09-29%2018%3A26%3A05

And if the system doesnt read the text file in time and another user does it, it will look like this:

id=242810&type=test_event&signature=d64bb5ba162774f03005879b2954b1d44c2d56ee×tamp=2011-09-29%2018%3A26%3A05 id=243097&type=test_event&signature=fe356ba60ee87277bdc7eab63e3637753c1fe3c9×tamp=2011-09-29%2020%3A52%3A41 

What would be the best way to send that to arrays like Array1 ([id] => 242810, [type] => "test_event",....etc etc
Im not really good at regex and im not sure if that would be the best way anyways, as i also thought of "parse_str" - but i cant figure out how to do it when there is more than one.

PHP - parse_str()

This will turn the line into an array or variables, your choice

parse_str('id=242810&type=test_event&signature=d64bb5ba162774f03005879b2954b1d44c2d56ee×tamp=2011-09-29%2018%3A26%3A05',$array);

print_r($array);

Some examples, just threw them together so let me know how they do.

<?

#
#	Option for Single
#
$myString = 'id=242810&type=test_event&signature=d64bb5ba162774f03005879b2954b1d44c2d56ee×tamp=2011-09-29%2018%3A26%3A05';
parse_str($myString,$array);
print_r($array);

#
#	Option for Multiple
#
$myString = 'id=242810&type=test_event&signature=d64bb5ba162774f03005879b2954b1d44c2d56ee×tamp=2011-09-29%2018%3A26%3A05
id=242810&type=test_event&signature=d64bb5ba162774f03005879b2954b1d44c2d56ee×tamp=2011-09-29%2018%3A26%3A05';
$myStrings = explode('id=',$myString);
$myArrays = array();
foreach($myStrings as $singleString)
{
	if(trim($singleString)!='')
	{
		$array = false;
		parse_str('id='.$singleString,$array);
		$myArrays[] = $array;
	}
}
print_r($myArrays);

#
#	Option for that will work with either single or multiple
#
$myString = 'id=242810&type=test_event&signature=d64bb5ba162774f03005879b2954b1d44c2d56ee×tamp=2011-09-29%2018%3A26%3A05

			parse_str('id='.$singleString,$array);
			$myArrays[] = $array;
		}
	}
	print_r($myArrays);
}
else
{
	parse_str($myString,$array);
	print_r($array);
}
?>

I cannot believe how well this works - thank you, thank you, thank you!
