Passing a Python list to php

Question

I\'m very new to php and I\'ve been spending quite some type understanding how to pass arguments from Python to php and conversely. I now know how to pass single variables,

Answer 1

Apparently your question was misleading. Was redirected here thinking this a solution for converting python lists to php array.

Posting a naive solution for ones wanting to convert lists to php array.

// Sample python list 
$data = '[["1","2","3","4"],["11","12","13","14"],["21","22","23","24"]]';

// Removing the outer list brackets
$data =  substr($data,1,-1);

$myArr = array();
// Will get a 3 dimensional array, one dimension for each list
$myArr =explode('],', $data);

// Removing last list bracket for the last dimension
if(count($myArr)>1)
$myArr[count($myArr)-1] = substr($myArr[count($myArr)-1],0,-1);

// Removing first last bracket for each dimenion and breaking it down further
foreach ($myArr as $key => $value) {
 $value = substr($value,1);
 $myArr[$key] = array();
 $myArr[$key] = explode(',',$value);
}

//Output
Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [0] => "1"
        [1] => "2"
        [2] => "3"
        [3] => "4"
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [0] => "11"
        [1] => "12"
        [2] => "13"
        [3] => "14"
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [0] => "21"
        [1] => "22"
        [2] => "23"
        [3] => "24"
    )
