How do to convert an array string in php

Question

I have a variable $object like this :

$object = ['Apple-2','Apolo-23','Nine-99','Ex-0'];

How do to make each value in $object to array. I want output like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Apple-2,
    [1] => Apolo-23,
    [2] => Nine-99,
    [3] => Ex-0
)

If that `$object` is a string u may use [explode()](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php) to do it but of course you have to cut off extra characters that wrapped it — gitguddoge, Apr 11 '19 at 04:04
@gitguddoge yes, $object is a string, sorry i will update my question — Rahmat Effendi, Apr 11 '19 at 04:05
Ermmm you can just simply `$object = array('Apple-2','Apolo-23','Nine-99','Ex-0');` that i assume you can change that line of code? — gitguddoge, Apr 11 '19 at 04:06
can you change the way you assign the `$object` value or you must assign in that way? (btw that `$object` is already an array by itself...) — gitguddoge, Apr 11 '19 at 04:07
this is just an assumption, are you trying to print because you want to debug? just echo "
"; print_r($object); i hope this is what you mean, cuz basically your array is an array of string, and supposedly value of that is the one you put below but of course with 'Apple-2 ' not Apple-2 — Nyuu, Apr 11 '19 at 04:10
@RopAliMunshi is right, in this case I think the question title is a bit confusing. there shouldn't be a convert but how to print — fmsthird, Apr 11 '19 at 04:26
@RahmatEffendi you have to tell us exactly what your variable holds? An array or a string? In both cases you can check my answer to get help — Alive to die - Anant, Apr 12 '19 at 05:02

$object is already an array. You just need to print it.

echo '<pre>'; 
print_r($object);
echo '</pre>';

Output :

if need comma after each value, add below line before print:

array_walk($object, function(&$object) {
    $object = $object . ",";
    return $object;
});

where is comma behind first element i.e [0]=>Apple-2, – M.Hemant Apr 11 '19 at 06:05
Ohh. Is it really required? or it's just by mistaken? – Amol Apr 11 '19 at 07:10
I have added array_walk if it is required. – Amol Apr 11 '19 at 07:19

You can use json_decode:

json_decode(str_replace("'", '"', $object));
