Breaking up data efficiently

Posted by Wee Keat on 06/28/05 02:34

Hi All,

I'm working on an aircraft booking system and it has multiple
origin/destination data, concatenated into a single line:


/***** BEGIN DATA *****/

Melbourne, AU, 21-07-2005 14:00:00|Perth, AU, 21-07-2005 18:00:00|Perth,
AU, 25-07-2005 14:00:00|Melbourne, AU, 25-07-2005 18:00:00

/***** END DATA *****/


As you can see, each origin/destination is separated by a pipe '|', and
then, each origin/destination data has its location, country and
datetime of departure/arrival, separated by comma ','.

I'm splitting them up into array of location, country and datetime using
the following:


/***** BEGIN CODE *****/

$itenary = explode('|', $booking->booking_flight_details);

$size = count($itenary);

for($i=0; $i < $size; $i++) {
list($path[$i]['location'],
$path[$i]['country'],
$path[$i]['datetime']) = explode(',', $itenary[$i]);
}

/***** END CODE *****/



*Question*: Is the above the code an effective way to do it? Or is there
a better/faster way?

Somehow, it feels like there's lots of things going through the above code.

Please advise. Thanks.
