Parsing HTML element into parts

Question

I'm trying to parse the following code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%" width="100%" id="bodyTable" style="table-layout: fixed;max-width:100% !important;width: 100% !important;min-width: 100% !important;">

Essentially what I need is:

Array
(
    [0] => <table
    [1] => border="0"
    [2] => cellpadding="0"
    [3] => cellspacing="0"
    [4] => height="100%"
    [5] => width="100%"
    [6] => id="bodyTable"
    [7] => style="table-layout: fixed;max-width:100% !important;width: 100% !important;min-width: 100% !important;
)

However when doing this with a simple explode(" ", $str); I'm getting the "style" split up too, is there a simple way to parse this and loop through it?

remove the spaces from inside your `style` attribute if you are using space as a delimiter in `explode()`. — coderodour, Aug 30 '16 at 18:40
You could also try regular expressions if you're just looking for a quick hacky solution. — Dan, Aug 30 '16 at 18:42
@kooKooDoneSlapHisWife how would you suggest doing this? another problem I have is that there might be a class="v1 v2.." that I'd like to retain but have explode in the right order. — Saulius Antanavicius, Aug 30 '16 at 18:48
@SauliusAntanavicius Use `preg_match_all` and this regex: https://regex101.com/r/rR1bX0/2 ... I do not condone this, but I couldn't resist :) — Dan, Aug 30 '16 at 19:55

Try this:

$result = array ();
$str = '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%" width="100%" id="bodyTable" style="table-layout: fixed;max-width:100% !important;width: 100% !important;min-width: 100% !important;">';
$str_arr = explode (' style', $str);
$result = explode (' ', $str_arr[0]);
array_push($result, 'style'.$str_arr [1]);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($result);
