PHP - split a string of HTML attributes into an indexed array

Question

I\'ve got a string with HTML attributes:

$attribs = \' id= \"header \" class = \"foo   bar\" style =\"background-color:#fff; color: red; \"\';

Answer 1

A simple and effective function to solve this

function attrString2Array($attr) {
  $atList = [];

  if (preg_match_all('/\s*(?:([a-z0-9-]+)\s*=\s*"([^"]*)")|(?:\s+([a-z0-9-]+)(?=\s*|>|\s+[a..z0-9]+))/i', $attr, $m)) {
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($m[0]); $i++) {
      if ($m[3][$i])
        $atList[$m[3][$i]] = null;
      else
        $atList[$m[1][$i]] = $m[2][$i];
    }
  }

  return $atList;
}

print_r(attrString2Array('
'));
print_r(attrString2Array('data-tpl-classname="class" data-tpl-title="innerHTML" disabled nowrap href="#" hide src = "images/asas.gif"'));

//Array
//(
//    [data-tpl-classname] => class
//    [data-tpl-title] => innerHTML
//    [disabled] => 
//    [nowrap] => 
//    [href] => #
//    [hide] => 
//    [src] => images/asas.gif
//)
