How to string convert to array

Question

I want to convert to this array

$string = "1,[1,2,3],[2,2,4],2,3"; To Example

0 => 1,
1 => [
       0 => 1,
       1 => 2,
       2 => 3
     ],
2 => [
       0 => 2,
       1 => 2,
       2 => 4
     ],
3 => 2,
4 => 3

json_decode("[{$string}]") should do it (or json_decode("[$string]") if you want the shortest version). — Jeto

You can use json_decode() :

$string = "1,[1,2,3],[2,2,4],2,3";
$array = json_decode("[$string]", true);
print_r($array);

Output :

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 2
            [2] => 3
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2
            [1] => 2
            [2] => 4
        )

    [3] => 2
    [4] => 3
)

Above code tested here
