I took your substitution idea and worked out the following:
Code:
    sub(/-/,"~",s)
    split(s, array1, "~")

This produced the results I needed.

array_diff_key - Computes the difference of arrays using keys for comparison

SYNOPSIS
array array_diff_key (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...]) DESCRIPTION
Compares the keys from $array1 against the keys from $array2 and returns the difference. This function is like array_diff(3) except the comparison is done on the keys instead of the values. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array to compare from o $array2 - An array to compare against o $... - More arrays to compare against RETURN VALUES
Returns an array containing all the entries from $array1 whose keys are not present in any of the other arrays. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_diff_key(3) example The two keys from the key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 . In other words a strict type check is executed so the string representation must be the same. <?php $array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4); $array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8); var_dump(array_diff_key($array1, $array2)); ?> The above example will output: array(2) { ["red"]=> int(2) ["purple"]=> int(4) } NOTES
Note This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using array_diff_key($array1[0], $array2[0]);. SEE ALSO
