"PHP: nested while loops"

I am trying to do some nested looping but it's not working with "while" statements.

When the nested while returns false, it fails the parent while loop as well.

Any thoughts?

If I've read your example right:

$stringa = "Volume 5 -||- Issue 1 -||- Article 1";
$array = explode(" -||- ",$string); # Create array.
$stringb = implode(" -||- ",$array); # Put it back together.

Mind if I ask how you sorted the first problem (just curious)?

I've devised a messy hack for it by changing the string dividers such that the string resembles an array, then used the eval() function on it.

It works, but if anyone knows of a better way to do it, please let me know!

OK, I've solved the problem, got another one though...

I have some strings, and I need them turning into arrays, e.g.:

Volume 5 -||- Issue 1 -||- Article 1
--> $array['Volume 5']['Issue 1']['Article 1'] = array()

Volume 5 -||- Issue 1 -||- Article 2
--> $array['Volume 5']['Issue 1']['Article 2'] = array()

But they're not always the same depth of array, e.g. I might have:

Volume 5 -||- Issue 1 -||- Subsection A -||- Article 1
--> $array['Volume 5']['Issue 1']['Subsection A']['Article 1'] = array()

Any thoughts?

I've always used these and never had a problem.

Is the code small enough to paste here?
