Array builder

Ok, I have a fairly large array that I sometimes need to update (see [webmasterworld.com...] and [webmasterworld.com...] ) and it gets a little annoying when I have to re-order the damned thing when I need to insert a new variable in halfway through the list.

So, to solve my dilemna I created the following PhP script, which I thought I'd stick here in case anyone has similar issues :)

Big thanks to Rocknbil for showing me how to grab a backslash with regex :)

<?php

$reg = $_POST['reg'];
$arname = $_POST['arname'];
$cont = $_POST['content'];
$contl = preg_replace('/[\r\n]{2}/m', '|##/|\##|', $cont);

if(isset($reg) && $reg != "") {
$slash = '/';
$sel = ' checked';
}

if((isset($cont) && $cont != "") && (isset($arname) && $arname != "")) {
$contl = explode("|##/|\##|", $contl);
$rows = count($contl);
$out = '<textarea class="out" onfocus="select();">&#36;' . $arname . ' = array()&#59;';
for($i = 0; $i < $rows; $i++){
if(!preg_match("/'/", $contl[$i])) {
$out .= "\n" . '&#36;' . $arname . '[' . $i . '] = &#39;' . $slash . preg_replace('/[\/\\\\]"/', '&#34;', $contl[$i]) . $slash . '&#39;&#59;';
} elseif(!preg_match('/"/', $contl[$i])) {
$out .= "\n" . '&#36;' . $arname . '[' . $i . '] = &#34;' . $slash . preg_replace("/[\/\\\\]'/", '&#39;', $contl[$i]) . $slash . '&#34;&#59;';
} else {
$out .= "\n" . '&#36;' . $arname . '[' . $i . '] = ' . $slash . preg_replace('/[\/\\\\]"/', '&#34;', preg_replace("/[\/\\\\]'/", '&#39;', $contl[$i])) . $slash . ' ERROR: APOSTROPHEE AND QUOTATION';
}
}
$out .= '</textarea>';
}

$cont = '<html>
