preg_match_all('/(\w+)\s*(\d+)/', $string, $matc);

$output = array_combine($match[1], $match[2]);

The reply from user "Ø Hanky Panky Ø", have an error:

Here:

$result[0][$type]=$count;

Correctly is:

$result[][$type]=$count;

Do like this, if you want to get out put like this.

 <?PHP
    $string = 'Simple 12, Complex 16';
    $my_arr1 = explode(',',$string);
    foreach ($my_arr1 as $value) {
        $value=trim($value);
        $my_arr2 = explode(' ',$value);
        $final_array[$my_arr2[0]]=$my_arr2[1];
    }
    print_r($final_array);

OUTPUT

Array
(
    [Simple] => 12
    [Complex] => 16
)

Here's a quick way:

preg_match_all('/(\w+)\s*(\d+)/', $str, $matches);
$result = array_combine($matches[1], $matches[2]);

<?php
preg_match_all("/[A-Za-z]+/","Simple 12, Complex 16",$keys);
preg_match_all("/[0-9]{2}/","Simple 12, Complex 16",$vals);
$a = array_combine($keys[0],$vals[0]);
print_r($a);

try it out

<?php
$string = 'Simple 12, Complex 16';
$values=explode(",",$string);
$result=array();
foreach($values as $value)
{
  $value=trim($value);
  list($type,$count)=explode(" ",$value);
  $result[0][$type]=$count;
}
print_r($result);
?>
