PHP - Strip Link From Tags In Wordpress

I have a php tutorial that I followed for creating, inserting, selecting and updating a MySQL database with php.  Everything works fine so I wanted to put it into Wordpress.  I took the code and placed it into the wordpress page and everything worked just fine except the update function. 

Here is the tutorial I used. http://www.phpsimple.net/mysql_insert_record.html  It is also the part I am having trouble with.  I am able to create a record and I am also able to select a record but when I choose "update" the form doesn't load the data.  It will outside the website but not inside wordpress.  I am hoping this is not vague but because of my inexperience I am not sure what else to say.  I will be more than happy to provide any other information you need.

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 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?

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.

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!

$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? 

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?

Looking for the best method to conditionally strip leading zeros for the following situation:


$a = array(01, 02, 03, ... 10, 11);

$a < 10 ? $a = ? : '';

For the following result:
1, 2, 3, ... 10, 11

Is there a better method than explode?

Firstly I'm sure the answer is simple however due to my inexperience I am unable to figure it out!   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  }  ?>

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!

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.  

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!

Hi All,   How could i implemnent tab strip (jquery ui tab) in php.   Any help in this regard will be appreciated   Thanks Ahsan

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);

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?
