Sample input:

phpArrayValue ( $array_list ; "[cc_owner]" ; 0 )

Sample output:

[cc_owner] => todd dignan

Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let(
[
pos = 1+pos;
text= array;
field =key;


x = MiddleValues (  text ; pos ; 1 );
x = SuperTrim ( x )
];
Case( PatternCount ( x ; field); x; phpArrayValue(text; field; pos) )
)

This return the key and value of a php array.
array = php array (example of a php array:
[cc_type] => Visa
[cc_owner] => todd dignan
)
key = the key in the array or the name of the value.
pos = always equals 0

You will need to also use the custom function "SuperTrim" http://www.briandunning.com/cf/904

I also use this to get just the value.

Let(
[
text = phpArrayValue ( $array_list ; "[cc_owner]" ; 0 );
start = Position ( text ; "=>" ; 1 ; 1 )+3;
number = Length(text);
result = Middle ( text ; start ; number )
];
If(result = "";""; result)
)
