Parse_str() more than 1 strip

PHP
1 
$checkbox = $_POST['checkbox']['title-name']['title-description']
$params = array();             
parse_str($checkbox, $params);

however this code work perfectly with 1 strip how to do with more than 1 strip, like

$checkbox = $_POST['checkbox']['title-name-value']['title-description-value']

thanks for advice

Just use explode. parse_str is deprecated in PHP 7 and will most likely be removed in future versions.

No itā€™s not:

Using this function without the result parameter is highly DISCOURAGED and DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.2.

Oops, sorry 7.2

@adyoi I donā€™t really understand the question. What do you want to do exactly? What are the values in those variables?

i want to produce array with post multiple array

Iā€™m sorry, but I really donā€™t understand what you want :thinking:

Could you give an example of expected output?

I think what his basic question is, Scallio, is ā€œHow do I loop through my inputs from a POST variable array.ā€ but iā€™m just guessing (that ā€œvalueā€ in his second line being a variable-replacement text sort of thing?)

Though I must say I dont actually understand why something called ā€˜title-descriptionā€™ is a parse-able stringā€¦

I donā€™t know what is meant by ā€œone stripā€.

My take is that a new array comprised of only certain nested array values is wanted. Or maybe the trouble is in getting the nested array values.

For example, in pseudocode

[A] => 
  [0] => 
    [a] => "foo" 
    [b] => "bar" 
  [1] => 
    [x] => "baz" 
[B] => 
  [0] => 
    [a] => "uno" 
    [b] => "dos" 
...

Either a new array like

[0] => "foo" 
[1] => "uno" 
...

or a way to loop through the multi-dimensional array and get the values ā€œfooā€, ā€œunoā€, etc. so they can be parsed as strings.

Part of what I find confusing is that the multi-dimensional array is a form POST array. I have never seen one nested to that extent. Two levels, yes. But not three. I agree there are no reasons a form couldnā€™t be that complex, but I suspect it might be better to simplify the form to allow for less complex back end processing.
