How to set key to value in array?

I have this string: '#d48888,abc.com,repeat,top left,scroll';

How do I convert this string to an array like this: Array('color'=>#d48888, 'href'=>abc.com, ... )?

If you're going to use PHP, use explode(<delimeter>,string) to convert your string into an array, and then add into the PHP array (which is really a map):

PHP explode() documentation

$str = "#d48888,abc.com,repeat,top left,scroll";
$aryStr = explode(",", $str);

$finalAry = [
    "color" => $aryStr[0];
    "href" => $aryStr[1];
    //complete
];

Try this,

First split the string on the comma basis:

var string = '#d48888,abc.com,repeat,top left,scroll';
var arrayOfString =   str.split(',');

Use another array to store the key => Value pair:

var newArray = {};
newArray.color = arrayOfString[0];
newArray.href = arrayOfString[1];
newArray.action = arrayOfString[2];
newArray.top = arrayOfString[3];
newArray.scroll = arrayOfString[4];

Create a array with keys and then loop and save a object with the key and the value that you want

Try something like:

var string_array= '#d48888,abc.com,repeat,top left,scroll'.split(',');
var array_key=["color","href","background-repeat","background-position","overflow"];
var newobj = {};
$.each(string_array,function(i,v){
 newobj[array_key[i]] = v;
});

I think you're looking for a javascript object, not an array.

var tmpObj = {};
var str = '#d48888,abc.com,repeat,top left,scroll';

var aryStr = str.split(','); //Splits the string on a delimeter
tmpObj.color = aryStr[0]; //sets the 'color' property
tmpObj.href = aryStr[1]; //sets the 'href' property
//Complete object

console.log(aryStr); //prints out the object and its properties
