Split String Into Array and Append Prev Value

I have this string:

var/log/file.log

I eventually want to end up with an array looking like this:

Array => [

    '1' => 'var',

    '2' => 'var/log',

    '3' => 'var/log/file.log'

]

I currently have this:

<?php

    $string = 'var/log/file.log';

    $array = explode('/', $string);

    $output = [

        1 => $array[0],

        2 => $array[0]. '/' .$array[1],

        3 => $array[0]. '/' .$array[1]. '/' .$array[2]

    ];



    echo '<pre>'. print_r($output, 1) .'</pre>';

This feels really counter-intuitive and I'm not sure if there's already something built into PHP that can take care of this.

How do I build an array using appending previous value?

@pr1nc3 it works but, it feels really ... muddy. Feels like there's already something existing that takes care of my problem - I mean imagine the string was var/log/some/other/directory/file.log - then you get a really messy $output declaration. I was just seeing if there was something that can kinda do the leg work within PHP

You can solve this by writing a recursive function using explode('/', $string, 2) - let me know if you need help for that

This solution takes the approach of starting with your input path, and then removing a path one by one, adding the remaining input to an array at each step. Then, we reverse the array as a final step to generate the output you want.

$input = "var/log/file.log";

$array = ;

while (preg_match("///i", $input)) {

    array_push($array, $input);

    $input = preg_replace("//[^/]+$/", "", $input);

    echo $input;

}

array_push($array, $input);

$array = array_reverse($array);

print_r($array);



Array

(

    [0] => var

    [1] => var/log

    [2] => var/log/file.log

)

The above call to preg_replace strips off the final path of the input string, including the forward slash. This is repeated until there is only one final path component left. Then, we add that last component to the same array.

<?php

$string = 'var/log/some/other/directory/file.log';

$array = explode('/', $string);



$i = 0;

foreach ($array as $data) {

    $output = isset($output) ? $output[$i - 1] . '/' . $data : $data;

    $i++;

}





echo '<pre>';



print_r($output);

A simpler solution is above. You simple set your new array field to be a concatenation of your previous one from your new array and the current one from your foreach.

Output is:

Array

(

    [0] => var

    [1] => var/log

    [2] => var/log/some

    [3] => var/log/some/other

    [4] => var/log/some/other/directory

    [5] => var/log/some/other/directory/file.log

)

You could do something like this with a foreach

<?php

$string = 'var/log/file.log';

$array = explode('/', $string);



$last = '';

$output = array();

foreach ($array as $key => $value) {

    $result = $last.$value;

    $output[$key] = $result;

    $last = $result.'/';

}



echo '<pre>'. print_r($output, 1) .'</pre>';

You can get parent directory in a loop and add it to output variable. For example with help the following algorithm:

$path = 'var/log/file.log';

$output = ;



$pos = strlen($path);

while ($pos !== false) {

    $path = substr($path, 0, $pos);

    array_unshift($output, $path);

    $pos = strrpos($path, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

}

or with dirname() function

$path = 'var/log/file.log';

$output = ;



do {

  array_unshift($output, $path);

  $path = dirname($path);

} while ($path !== '.');

Also, you can work with $path string as an array of chars and find directory separator in it:

$path = 'var/log/file.log';

$output = ;



$tmp = '';

$len = strrpos($path, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); // you can use strlen instead of strrpos,

                                            // but it'll look over filename also

for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {        

    if ($path[$i] === DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) {

        $output = $tmp;

    }

    $tmp .= $path[$i];

}

$output = $path;

but keep in mind you couldn't use this way if $path string has multibyte encoding

The result of all methods will be:

Array (

     [0] => var

     [1] => var/log

     [2] => var/log/file.log 

)

Upvoted because of the dirname version. I've tried to make my own answer and ended up writting your dirname version. Except my version added everything to the array and then returned it reversed (ideone.com/ifMJM4).

Because I can't help myself, I benchmarked all these answers. @Yoshi's (deleted, but you can see the code below) answer came a fairly clear first, followed by @OliverNybo (about 15% slower), @pr1nc3 (about 35% slower), a gap to mine and @MaximFedorov's first and second answer (about 55-75% slower), then another gap to @TimBiegeleisen and finally to @MaximFedorov's last answer (which didn't actually return the correct result). Here are the results for 100,000 iterations (times in seconds):

enter image description here

Here's the testing code. Note I've removed a call to array_reverse where it was used as it doesn't do anything other than change the order of output.

There are a lot of good answers here already but here's another slightly different way of doing this:

$string = 'var/log/some/other/directory/file.log';

$array = explode('/', $string);

for ($c = count($array); $c > 0; ) {

    $output[--$c] = implode('/', $array);

    array_pop($array);

}

for ($i = 0; $i < count($output); $i++) {

    echo "$output[$i]n";

}

Output:

var 

var/log 

var/log/some 

var/log/some/other 

var/log/some/other/directory 

var/log/some/other/directory/file.log

<?php

$string = 'var/log/some/other/directory/file.log';

$array = explode('/', $string);



$i = 0;

foreach ($array as $data) {

    $output = isset($output) ? $output[$i - 1] . '/' . $data : $data;

    $i++;

}





echo '<pre>';



print_r($output);

A simpler solution is above. You simple set your new array field to be a concatenation of your previous one from your new array and the current one from your foreach.

Output is:

Array

(

    [0] => var

    [1] => var/log

    [2] => var/log/some

    [3] => var/log/some/other

    [4] => var/log/some/other/directory

    [5] => var/log/some/other/directory/file.log

You can get parent directory in a loop and add it to output variable. For example with help the following algorithm:

$path = 'var/log/file.log';

$output = ;



$pos = strlen($path);

while ($pos !== false) {

    $path = substr($path, 0, $pos);

    array_unshift($output, $path);

    $pos = strrpos($path, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

}

or with dirname() function

$path = 'var/log/file.log';

$output = ;



do {

  array_unshift($output, $path);

  $path = dirname($path);

} while ($path !== '.');

Also, you can work with $path string as an array of chars and find directory separator in it:

$path = 'var/log/file.log';

$output = ;



$tmp = '';

$len = strrpos($path, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); // you can use strlen instead of strrpos,

                                            // but it'll look over filename also

for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {        

    if ($path[$i] === DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) {

        $output = $tmp;

    }

    $tmp .= $path[$i];

}

$output = $path;

but keep in mind you couldn't use this way if $path string has multibyte encoding

The result of all methods will be:

Array (

     [0] => var

     [1] => var/log

     [2] => var/log/file.log 

)

There are a lot of good answers here already but here's another slightly different way of doing this:

$string = 'var/log/some/other/directory/file.log';

$array = explode('/', $string);

for ($c = count($array); $c > 0; ) {

    $output[--$c] = implode('/', $array);

    array_pop($array);

}

for ($i = 0; $i < count($output); $i++) {

    echo "$output[$i]n";

}

Output:

var 

var/log 

var/log/some 

var/log/some/other 

var/log/some/other/directory 

var/log/some/other/directory/file.log
