I'm calling the script at: http://phat-reaction.com/googlefonts.php?format=php
And I need to convert the results into a PHP array format like the one I'm currently hard coding:
$googleFonts = array(
"" => "None",
"Abel"=>"Abel",
"Abril+Fatface"=>"Abril Fatface",
"Aclonica"=>"Aclonica",
etc...
);
The php returned is serialized:
a:320:{
i:0;
a:3:{
s:11:"font-family";
s:32:"font-family: 'Abel', sans-serif;";
s:9:"font-name";
s:4:"Abel";
s:8:"css-name";
s:4:"Abel";
}
i:1;
a:3:{
s:11:"font-family";
s:38:"font-family: 'Abril Fatface', cursive;";
s:9:"font-name";
s:13:"Abril Fatface";
s:8:"css-name";
s:13:"Abril+Fatface";
}
etc...
How can I translate that into my array?

It means assign the key to $user and the variable to $pass. When you assign an array, you do it like this. $array = array("key" => "value"); It uses the same symbol for processing arrays in foreach statements. The '=>' links the key and the value.
Associative arrays - Arrays with named keys.
The unserialize() function converts serialized data back into actual data.
Traversing the Associative Array Example: In Associative arrays in PHP, the array keys() function is used to find indices with names provided to them, and the count() function is used to count the number of indices.
You can do this by unserializing the data (using unserialize()) and then iterating through it:
$fonts = array();
$contents = file_get_contents('http://phat-reaction.com/googlefonts.php?format=php');
$arr = unserialize($contents);
foreach($arr as $font)
{
$fonts[$font['css-name']] = $font['font-name'];
}
Depending on what you're using this for, it may be a good idea to cache the results so you're not fetching external data each time the script runs.
