PHP - Strip All But Variable In Url
I am building a component where users enter a Youtube URL and press save. I need to run some code on the form field where the URL was entered to strip all but the unique identifier. i.e. something like this:
$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VaAlaIJ384&feature=rec-LGOUT-real_rev-rn-4r-10-HM'; strip all befor (including) 'v=' strip all after (including) '&' Can anyone suggest how I would do this? Similar TutorialsHey there. Thinking this should be an easy one but I can only seem to find info on the string replace function. What I'm trying to do is strip everything after the @ from an email variable. So for example $mail variable comes in as me@gmail.com How would I strip the variable to only contain me and remove the @gmail.com I'll keep searching for the answer myself but if anyone can throw me a bone it's be appreciated. Cheers I have a paragrpah which has tags that needs to be stripped off. so the paragraph looks like Quote <div id="ctl00_placeholderMain_pnlInTheBox" class="tabitem"> <p> HP LaserJet 9050 printer<br/> Power cord<br/> Parallel cable<br/> HP LaserJet Q8543X Smart print cartridge<br/> Printer documentation<br/> Printer software CD<br/> Control panel overlay<br/> Face-up output bin<br/> Two 500-sheet input tray<br/> 100 Sheet Multipurpose Tray<br/> HP JetDirect Fast</p> </div> I want it to look like Quote HP LaserJet 9050 printer Power cord Parallel cable HP LaserJet Q8543X Smart print cartridge Printer documentation Printer software CD Control panel overlay Face-up output bin Two 500-sheet input tray 100 Sheet Multipurpose Tray HP JetDirect Fast How would I go on about doing this.. currently i use Code: [Select] $inbox = $html->find( "#ctl00_placeholderMain_pnlInTheBox" ); if ( isset( $inbox[ 0 ] ) ) { $box =( $inbox[0] ); $box = strpos($box, ';') !== FALSE ? substr( $box, strpos( $box, ";" ) + 1 ) : $box; } else { $box = "0"; } Hi All I Am confused I would like to put info into a database but need it to be secure. I have some code shown below. The problem is I would like to put in ' but keep the data secure. When it comes back I do not want to show \' I think you might know what I am trying to do. Here is the code but would like to know how to stop the \' showing. Code: [Select] $password = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes(trim($_POST['password']))); Any help would be great thank you. $name = "D'Angelo" ok I'm running a mysql query as $query = " INSERT INTO TEST (ID, NAME) VALUES ('NULL','$NAME')"; If the name = "D'Angelo" the apostrophe would cause it to fail. Is there a way to do this without striping the characters? Hi everyone! I'm trying to get the variables out of a string like this: Code: [Select] $string='this is a sentence with a load of [great, clever, textual] variables '; What I want to do is output a list of strings that have used the variables to create unique strings like this: Code: [Select] this is a sentence with a load of great variables this is a sentence with a load of clever variables this is a sentence with a load of textual variables I tried exploding the string into arrays, but what I really need to do is explode on '[' then output the words to an array (until I get to the closing ']') and then move on... The eventual string will have potentially loads of variables, but let's do one thing at a time. What's the best way of starting a project like this? Neil Hi: Is this the proper way to remove slashes from apostrophes: Code: [Select] if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $myTitle = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['myTitle'])); $myDesc = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['myDesc'])); $myHeader = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['myHeader'])); $mySubHeader = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['mySubHeader'])); $myPageData = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['myPageData'])); It seems to work fine, I'd just like to clarify I'm not missing anything. Thanks! Hey folks, I am trying to create a small script that will retrieve content from a site, strip it of everything but human readable words, then remove numbers, single letters, and words that I specify. I have the following code which is live on http://salesleadhq.com/tools/crawler/meta.php?url=http://www.cooking.com. My problem is that it is not removing all of the the words I specify, only some... ?? I think i would rather an external word list as well... if anyone can assist me with that. Thank you!

I am executing a simple query to retrieve all ISBN numbers within my db and display these in a table.
In my db some of the ISBN numbers contain hyphens and some don't. I would like to display then in my table without hyphens.
I'm grateful of any assistance and advice.
I know I can remove all the hyphens from the db by executing a separate query however I'd like to strip them if possibly.
My Code;
$query = "SELECT * FROM book WHERE status != 'Archive' ORDER BY id"; while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){ ?> <tr> <td><a href="itemView.php<?php echo '?isbn='.$row['isbn']; ?>" </a></td> <td>...</td> <td>...</td> <td>...</td> <td>...</td> </tr> <?php } ?>J I have this command that basically populates my website with titles for pages based on the information that is placed within "info.txt" I have multiple titles being created so I'd like a way of putting them in order beside alphabetically. My thought was that I could place numbers as the first character in the "info.txt" file and that would allow me to put the titles in an order I find acceptable. Now this causes the issue that I don't want those numbers displayed on my website. So the Echo needs to strip the number.... I'm lost, but my brain thinks it's a good idea. Here's the code I'm working with: Code: [Select] <tr> <td id="body"> <table id="columns" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <h2>LSAV Latest Events</h2> <p>Select an event from below to view a gallery of images from that event.</p> <ul> <?php $dir = 'latest-events'; if ($handle = opendir($dir)) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if( $file != '.' && $file != '..') { $title = file_get_contents( "$dir/$file/info.txt" ); echo "<li><a href=\"event-viewer.php?event=$file\">$title</a></li>"; } } closedir($handle); Hi All,
How could i implemnent tab strip (jquery ui tab) in php.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated
Thanks

Hey guys. I am trying to strip everything between a key phrase and ending tag but for some reason it is not working. I always get blank data. I've tried many different ways but no luck.
basically I have a script that connect to imap and store emails into MySQL as service tickets. works great but I am trying to strip everything except for user reply because currently if a user reply to an email it re-inserts the entire email into MySQL. I added a key phrase at the top of all outgoing emails .
1. structure looks like this.
--Reply below this line to respond--
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Email body message...
2. When replying to the message it becomes
New Message reply......
--Reply below this line to respond--
old message body.
3. so I would only like to insert the new reply message only.
This is what I got so far.
$message=strip_tags($message, "<br><div><p><u><hr></section>");
$message=preg_replace("</p>", "br /", $message); $message=preg_replace('#--REPLY above this line to respond--(.*?)</section>)#s', ' ', $message); $message=clean("<br/><hr><u>Received On $rep_date / $from_email</u><br><br/>$message"); it inserts the "Received On date and From but $message is blank. If i remove $message=preg_replace('#--REPLY above this line to respond--(.*?)</section>)#s', ' ', $message); it inserts the entire email Any suggestion on what i am doing wrong? thank you all very much. This is going to sound like a very beginner question, because it is. I am modifying some free code snippets to fit my use and stuck. It's probably a simple fix. First here is the code. This is printing from a while loop. <?php print("[". $current_month .",". number_format($remaining_balance, "2", ".", ",") . "],");?> Here is the last remaining items from the loop at it comes to an end: [343,14,495.86], [344,13,682.26], [345,12,863.91], [346,12,040.79], [347,11,212.87], [348,10,380.12], [349,9,542.52], [350,8,700.02], [351,7,852.61], [352,7,000.26], [353,6,142.94], [354,5,280.62], [355,4,413.26], [356,3,540.85], [357,2,663.34], [358,1,780.72], [359,892.95], [360,0.00], My question is kind of simple, how do I get it do the comma doesn't print on the last print? I need it to end like this: [359,892.95], [360,0.00] Does that make sense? I don't know if I explained it well. I could really use some help! Thanks so much! I need to strip some html tags out of an uploaded string of code. I need to keep the <td> tags...but some code that is being uploaded include <p> tags INSIDE the <td> tag.
How would I go about stripping ALL other tags inside these allowed tags: <td> <tr><table>
Hiya peeps, I am using preg_match to validate URLS; preg_match("/(((https?|ftp|gopher):\/\/|(mailto|file|news):)[^' <>\"]+|(www|web|w3).[-a-z0-9.]+)[^' .,;<>\":]/i", $this->_searchString) I works great, the only issue I have is I am using it in an if statment, and what I need to do is something like this. if(preg_match("/(((https?|ftp|gopher):\/\/|(mailto|file|news):)[^' <>\"]+|(www|web|w3).[-a-z0-9.]+)[^' .,;<>\":]/i", $this->_searchString)) { CHECK IF $this->_searchString has http:// at the start of it or if it has a / at the end and remove them if it does. I need $this->_searchString to end up with only www.SITE.co.uk before I can input it into the relevant function. } else { } Many thanks, James. In Wordpress, the hyperlinked tags are displayed by <?php the_tags(); ?> I want to de-link the tags to show simple text (instead of link). I tried Code: [Select] ereg_replace to replace hyperlink elements; strip_tags, but none of them worked. I'm trying to make a script that will search the source code of a given url and strip every email address that pops up. I already have a script that will crawl around, jumping from webpage to webpage... i just need to figure out how to strip the contents... any suggestions? So I have an interesting one for you guys this AM, I first want to make it very clear that I am not scraping code, rather I am scraping data that is needed to import into a shopping cart system for someone. I have a URL that I am trying to scrape required data off of, however it is not returning all the data that I want. I have created a function that uses preg_match_all() and regex and I am still having issues striping what I want. here is a link to my test what I am wanting to strip from http://visualrealityink.com/dev/clients/rug_src/scrapeing/Rugsource/www.vendio.com/stores/Rugsource1/item/other/tribal-wool-3x5-shiraz-persian/lid=10363581.html I am wanting to grab all this data: Quote Item Number: K-686 Style : Shiraz Province : Fars Made In : Iran Foundation : Wool Pile : 100% Wool Colors : Red, Navy Blue, Ivory, Forest Green, Light Blue, Orange Size (feet) : 4' 11" x 3' 4" Size (Centimeter) : 155 x 103 Age : 20-25 Years Old Condition : Very Good KPSI (knots per sq. inch) : 130 knots per square inch Woven : Hand Knotted Shipping and Handling : Free Shipping(For Mainland USA) Est.

One show a week they have a DJ who has his own top 40 show with HIS top 40 listed on his own site At the moment, the only solution I have to getting the top 40 onto my clients site is an iframe (not good I know!) However, what's worse is that this top 40 list has horrendous colours that completely break the theme of my clients site and worse still, is Excel generated HTML! The author of this list is not a client of mine, and so, I can't do anything to persuade him to change. I've attached a copy of the offending file so you can see what I'm working with, changed the extension from html to txt for the forum post. Just for clarification, the excel generated HTML file is not hosted on my server (although I could set up a cron job to get it if required) I've done some digging and found a useful bit of code However, it displays the table 4 or 5 times In addition to this, is there a way to manipulate the width of the columns with this code? Code: [Select] <?php $oldSetting = libxml_use_internal_errors( true ); libxml_clear_errors(); $html = new DOMDocument(); $html->loadHtmlFile('Chart%20Table2.htm'); $xpath = new DOMXPath( $html ); $elements = $xpath->query( "//table" ); foreach ( $elements as $item ) { $newDom = new DOMDocument; $newDom->appendChild($newDom->importNode($item,true)); $xpath = new DOMXPath( $newDom ); foreach ($item->attributes as $attribute) { for ($node = $item->firstChild; $node !== NULL; $node = $node->nextSibling) { if (($attribute->nodeName =='valign') && ($attribute->nodeValue=='top')) { print($node->nodeValue); } else { print("<br>".$node->nodeValue); } } print("<br>"); } } libxml_clear_errors(); libxml_use_internal_errors( $oldSetting ); ?> Basically, I just want the table, I'm not bothered about the first column that contains some pictures as I think that's a separate table Ideally, I'd like to apply my own formatting to the table too (padding etc) if that is possible (eg from line 897 <td class=xl28 x:num>1</td>) down to line 1433 The trouble is, there is a lot of custom widths and styles inbetween which I don't want I'd like all the tr and td's without all the associated guff from the original export from Excel Geez I wish there was an easy way to get this guy just to export as CSV but unfortunately that's not an option! Many thanks in advance! I have been searching on google for a while, but i couldn't find it. So i thought may be you could direct me to some tutorial or steps if you knew. Basically, i am working on a articles directory and the big text area where the main article will be entered, i want to allow all the links (link tag) on it but not any other html tags. Currently i am using strip tags and so its cutting down the tags and all the links are being displayed naked on it. So can you please tell me how do i do it? Thanks.. |
