Inside WordPress, every post has a single custom field with this kind of "value":
HTML:5, JQUERY: 20, PHP:38
This value is different in every post, not only for numbers, but also for names. I mean that other post could have:
CSS:90, HTML5: 32, LINUX: 80, ETHERNET: 22
Considered this, I want to extract and print every name (for example HTML
) and the number of that name (for example 5
).
Sometimes it could happen that a number is part of the name (ex: HTML5
), so I think that the only way would be to recognize string before and after ":", considering that the last one won't have "," at the end.
I'm conscious it would be much easier to have more custom fields, one per "name" like HTML:5
and other one called JQUERY
with value 20
, but it would be really long.
This will probably work just as well as anything else.
$string= 'CSS:90, HTML5: 32, LINUX: 80, ETHERNET: 22';
$ar=explode(",",$string);
foreach($ar as $item){
$v= explode(":",$item);
$array[]= array( 'key'=> $v[0], 'text'=> $v[1] ); // or print html etc....
}
var_dump($array);
