Hi Guys!

I need a way to convert a string like this:

<select name="something">
<option value="1">var1</option>
<option value="2">var2</option>
<option value="3">var3</option>
<option value="4">var4</option>
</select>

to this:

something=[1,2,3,4]

Anyone can help?

$str2 = preg_replace('@<select name="(\w*)">.*@s', '$1=[', $str);
preg_match_all('@<option value="(\d)">var\d</option>@', $str, $values);
$str2 .= implode(',', $values[1]) . ']';
