Python dictionary to PHP array
Pass any python dictionary into convertArray.
It will return an array that PHP can read.
Example:
>>> convertArray({"One":1, "Two":[2,"Two"], "Three":[{"ThreeAgain":[3,3,3]} ,[1,2,3], "Three"]})
Returns: array('Three'=>array(array('ThreeAgain'=>array(3, 3, 3)), array(1, 2, 3), 'Three'), 'Two'=>array(2, 'Two'), 'One'=>1)
It will return an array that PHP can read.
Example:
>>> convertArray({"One":1, "Two":[2,"Two"], "Three":[{"ThreeAgain":[3,3,3]} ,[1,2,3], "Three"]})
Returns: array('Three'=>array(array('ThreeAgain'=>array(3, 3, 3)), array(1, 2, 3), 'Three'), 'Two'=>array(2, 'Two'), 'One'=>1)
