I suppose it depends on how many records you're going to have to split
up... here's another way, but I don't know if it's faster -- I'll let you
time it -- and it's certainly not as readable...
$bits = split("[|,]", $booking->booking_flight_details);
$size = count($itenary);
for ( $i = 0; $i < $size; $i += 3 ) {
$path[$i]['location'] = $bits[$i];
$path[$i]['country'] = $bits[$i + 1];
$path[$i]['datetime'] = $bits[$i + 2];
}
