Turn Over Address Components to an Array

/ Published in: PHP
Save to your folder(s)
Breaks up an address (in this case returned by Advanced Custom Fields Location plugin) into it's components. Additionally, sorts a multidimensional array of locations alphabetically by state. This works for basic addresses assuming that address is in the format 'street, city, state, zip, country.' I've written a more extensive version of this snippit that uses Google Geocoding to get the address components and store them in a Wordpress database as meta data.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. function break_address( $loc )
  2. {
  3. 	$components = explode( ',' , $loc );
  4. 	$state_zip = explode( ' ' , trim( $components[2] ) );
  5. 	$components_array = array(
  6. 		'street' 	=> trim( $components[0] ),
  7. 		'city'		=> trim( $components[1] ),
  8. 		'state'		=> $state_zip[0],
  9. 		'zip'		=> $state_zip[1],
  10. 		'country'	=> trim( $components[3] )
  11. 	);
  12. 	return $components_array;
  13. }
  14.  
  15. $locations = array();
  16. $location = get_field( 'location_field' );
  17. $location = $location[ 'address' ];
  18. $locations[ 0 ] = break_address( $location );
  19.  
  20. usort( $locations , function( $a , $b )
  21. {
  22.     return $a[ 'state' ] - $b[ 'state' ];
  23. });
  24.  
  25. var_dump( $locations );
