How to parse all attributes of tag from string into array using php?

Question

I have a html string like...

<match id="18" srs="ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010" mchDesc="BANW vs PMGW" mnum="4th Match">

Using php how i can split/decode/parse this string as a accessible object(key value pair) such as....

array(

    "id"=>"18", 

    "srs"=>"ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010", 

    "mchDesc"=>"BANW vs PMGW", 

    "mnum"=>"4th Match"

);

Output:

Array

(

    [id] => 18

    [srs] => ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010

    [mchDesc] => BANW vs PMGW

    [mnum] => 4th Match

)

This Should Work.

(\w+)\=\"([a-zA-Z0-9 ,.\/&%?=]+)\"

Code PHP:

<?php
$re = '/(\w+)\=\"([a-zA-Z0-9 ,.\/&%?=]+)\"/m';
$str = '<match id="18" srs="ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010" mchDesc="BANW vs PMGW" mnum="4th Match">
';

preg_match_all($re, $str, $matches);

$c = array_combine($matches[1], $matches[2]);

print_r($c);

Output:

Array
(
    [id] => 18
    [srs] => ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2017
    [mchDesc] => BANW vs PMGW
    [mnum] => 4th Match, Group B
    [type] => ODI
    [vcity] => Colombo
    [vcountry] => Sri Lanka
    [grnd] => Colombo Cricket Club Ground
    [inngCnt] => 0
    [datapath] => google.com/j2me/1.0/match/2017/
)
