How to parse all attributes of tag from string into array using php?

I have a html string like...

<match id="18" srs="ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010" mchDesc="BANW vs PMGW" mnum="4th Match">

Using php how i can split/decode/parse this string as a accessible object(key value pair) such as....

array(
    "id"=>"18", 
    "srs"=>"ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010", 
    "mchDesc"=>"BANW vs PMGW", 
    "mnum"=>"4th Match"
);

Output:

Array
(
    [id] => 18
    [srs] => ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010
    [mchDesc] => BANW vs PMGW
    [mnum] => 4th Match
)

This Should Work.

(\w+)\=\"([a-zA-Z0-9 ,.\/&%?=]+)\"

Code PHP:

<?php
$re = '/(\w+)\=\"([a-zA-Z0-9 ,.\/&%?=]+)\"/m';
$str = '<match id="18" srs="ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010" mchDesc="BANW vs PMGW" mnum="4th Match">
';

preg_match_all($re, $str, $matches);

$c = array_combine($matches[1], $matches[2]);

print_r($c);

Output:

Array
(
    [id] => 18
    [srs] => ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2017
    [mchDesc] => BANW vs PMGW
    [mnum] => 4th Match, Group B
    [type] => ODI
    [vcity] => Colombo
    [vcountry] => Sri Lanka
    [grnd] => Colombo Cricket Club Ground
    [inngCnt] => 0
    [datapath] => google.com/j2me/1.0/match/2017/
)

Using DOMDocument and DOMAttr:

$str = '<match id="18" srs="ICC Womens World Cup Qualifier, 2010" mchDesc="BANW vs PMGW" mnum="4th Match">';
$dom = new DOMDocument;
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$dom->loadHTML($str);

$result = [];

foreach($dom->getElementsByTagName('match')->item(0)->attributes as $attr) {
    $result[$attr->name] = $attr->value;
}

print_r($result);

The main advantage is that it doesn't care if attributes values are enclosed between single or double quotes (or no quotes at all), if there are spaces before or after the equal sign.
