Hello i have a text file in which i record some arrays with output of print_r as below 

$filename = 'record.txt';
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
$arr = [['MODEL' => 2011, 'BRAND' => 'FIAT'], ['MODEL' => 2017, 'BRAND' => 'MERCEDES']];
fwrite($fp, print_r($arr,true));
fclose($fp);

the output of this file is like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [MODEL] => 2011
            [BRAND] => FIAT
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [MODEL] => 2017
            [BRAND] => MERCEDES
        )

)

now i want to read it back and use it as array. Is there any simple way to parse this string.

    It's possible. But hardly easy nor advisable. Use JSON in the future. – mario Oct 15 '17 at 13:36

  • If you have to write to file like this for subsequent reload, use [var_export()](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.var-export.php) rather than print_r() – Mark Baker Oct 15 '17 at 15:04
