RE: [PHP] alpha/beta/gamma TO $var['alpha']['beta'] = 'gamma'

I'd write it something like this: function convert($pseudo_path) { $pseudo_dirs = explode('/', $pseudo_path); $result = array_pop($pseudo_dirs); for ($i=count($pseudo_dirs-1; $i>=0; --$i): $result = array($pseudo_dirs[$i] => $result); endfor; return $result; } This is completely off the top of my head and untested, so no guarantees provided ;) Cheers!
