Explode string on commas and pipes to create two arrays

Question

I did coding as below and got the wrong output:

$asst_vicars_data_arr=explode(',',$asst_vicars_data);
$asst_head_type_count=count($asst_vicars_data_arr);

$d = explode("|",$data);
foreach ($asst_vicars_data_arr as $value) {
    $arr = explode("|",$value);
    print_r($arr); 
}

Input:

$asst_vicars_data_arr=Array ( [0] => PT|1 [1] => O|4 [2] => PT|15,... )

Expected output:

$type=Array([0] => PT, [1] => O,...)
$heads=Array([0] => 1, [1] => 4,...)

What can I do to create these two arrays?

Answer 1

You can try this out

<?php
$asst_vicars_data_arr=array ( 0 => 'PT|1' , 1 => 'O|4' , 2 =>'PT|15');
foreach ($asst_vicars_data_arr as $value) {
    $arr = explode("|",$value);
    $type [] = $arr[0];
    $heads [] = $arr[1];
}
print_r($type);
print_r($heads);
?>
