Here is much powerful pg_parse_array() variant, based on FSM: for any dimension Postgres arrays (its string representation must be well-formed), with quotation rules checks, complexity O(N), where N is a length of string representation of Postgres array:
<?php
define('STATE_BEGIN', 1);
define('STATE_INARRAY',2);
define('STATE_OUTARRAY', 3);
define('STATE_INSLASH', 4);
define('STATE_INQUOTES', 5);
function pg_parse_array($value) {
$resultArray = $indexArray = array(); $level = $index = 0;
$ptr = &$resultArray;
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($value); $i++){
switch($level){
case 1:
if($index > 0){
$ptr = & $ptr[sizeof($ptr)];
}
$indexArray[++$index] = & $ptr;
break;
case -1:
$ptr = & $indexArray[--$index];
break;
}
$level = processFSM($value{$i}, $ptr);
}
return $resultArray;
}
function processFSM($chr, &$result){
static $state = STATE_BEGIN, $index = 0;
$level = 0;
switch(true){
case $chr == '{' && in_array($state, array(STATE_BEGIN,STATE_INARRAY,STATE_OUTARRAY), true):
$state = STATE_INARRAY;
$index = 0;
$level = +1;
break;
case $chr == '}' && in_array($state, array(STATE_INARRAY,STATE_OUTARRAY), true):
$state = STATE_OUTARRAY;
$level = -1;
break;
case $chr == '\\' && $state !== STATE_BEGIN:
$state = $state === STATE_INSLASH ? STATE_INQUOTES : STATE_INSLASH;
break;
case $chr == '"' && !in_array($state, array(STATE_BEGIN,STATE_INSLASH), true):
$state = $state === STATE_INQUOTES ? STATE_INARRAY : STATE_INQUOTES;
break;
case $chr == ',' && in_array($state, array(STATE_INARRAY,STATE_OUTARRAY), true):
$index = sizeof($result);
break;
case $state !== STATE_BEGIN:
$state = $state === STATE_INSLASH ? STATE_INQUOTES : $state;
isset($result[$index]) or $result[$index] = '';
$result[$index] .= $chr;
break;
}
return $level;
}
?>
