PHP - Match Words From An Array To A String?

 hello, i seem to be stuck again and this bug is difficult for me to solve.

if(isset($_POST['boards']))
	$boards[] = $_POST['boards'];
$allboards = implode("",$boards[0]);
echo $allboards;

outputs (browser source)...
hello
world

I have a combobox with the "multiple" property.  when two items are selected, the combobox "name" property has an array that passes to the $_POST variable. what i would like is those two words to be displayed on the same line.
I have tried rtrim($var, "\r\n") but that does nothing.

the reason i need them on the same line is because i would change then to "hello, world" and then add them as a mysql query, for example... $query = "SELECT hello, world FROM table...

Whats the quickest way to find a word in a string and wrap <b> tags around it?

Code: [Select]
$search =  "php web";
$striing = "PHP is the web scripting language of choice";

Basically im looking for the output to be :
"<b>PHP</b> is the <b>web</b> scripting language of choice"

hi folks, i have a variable in which some common words are stored and another variable in which a sentence is stored. I want to remove the common words from the sentence> Is there any way of doing this in PHP?
Code: [Select]
<?php
$common_words = "to, this, all, the, from";
$sentence = "I want to remove all the common words from this sentence";
?>the final output should be:
"I remove common words sentence."

I can't seem to find a decent code function to search for "curse" words that i would deem inappropriate in an array. Count the number of instances the function finds a curse word and then if the number is greater than one halt the script.

something like the following but not really....
Code: [Select]
$words = array('ass','fuck','shit');
$string = 'Blah blah blah ass blah blah fuck blah blah shit!';
//code to count the instances of the curse words(3)
if($instances > 0)
{
echo "no cursing please.";
} ;
any help on how to do this would be much appreciated!

I am trying to make it echo if a string doesn't equal any of the values.   I have tried:   if(!preg_match("/none|Blue|Brown|Green|Grey)/i", $eyecolor)){ echo "Not an eye color"; } 

I have a string in the form of "word1-word2-word3-word4-word5-word-6-word7", but I want to shorten it to 5 words only. 

Code: [Select]
array ( 0 => array ( 'c0' => '6/111', 'c1' => '6/114', 'cnt' => '1', ), 1 => array ( 'c0' => '6/114', 'c1' => '6/111', 'cnt' => '1', ), 2 => array ( 'c0' => '6/145', 'c1' => '6/116', 'cnt' => '1', ), )
I want to "match" as on example code
0 => array ( 'c0' => '6/111', 'c1' => '6/114', 'cnt' => '1', ),
1 => array ( 'c0' => '6/114', 'c1' => '6/111', 'cnt' => '1', ),

c0 & c1, to get (and the array to be reseted)

0 => array ( 'c0' => '6/111', 'c1' => '6/114', 'cnt' => '2', ),
1 => array ( 'c0' => '6/145', 'c1' => '6/116', 'cnt' => '1', ), )

how to do it? I think that on only SQL it's impossible to do that ("switch"), furthermore I think that the code above would be useful

/*
$_c1 = @array_merge($_c1,$_c1x); if(!empty($_c0)) {
foreach($_c1 as $value) {
if(!isset($c1x[$value['id']])) {
$c1x[$value['id']] = $value;
$c1x[$value['id']]['cnt'] = 0;
} $c1x[$value['id']]['cnt']++;
} $this->tpl->assign('c1x',$c1x);
} */

please help mi, thank you very much

<?php

$title = "This is an example of a sentence in a paragraph";
$title_array = explode(" ", $title);

$count = strlen($title_array[0]);
?>
what i want to do is store the count for every characters of every word in the array using a loop
e.g the count will be stored in a variable $chr_count then when i access the count for "This" it should be like this $chr_count[0]=4, $char_count[1]=2 etc.

I have a array of file path strings and trying to search the array for a string that would be the end of the path sting and return the index of the file path that contains the string. I've tried using something like this, but it finds the keyword in anyplace in the file path. I've also tried strripos() as well with the same results. Any suggestions?

function array_search_partial($arr, $keyword) {
    foreach ($arr as $index => $string) {
			if(strpos($string, $keyword) !== FALSE) {
				return $index;
			}
    }
}

 

I can't get the COUNT of the matching results? Please help.

What I need to do is loop through this and one by one- take any arrays that contain a date that is between $dateX and $dateY (which comes via a form input) and place it in a new array $matched.   I am stumped. 
1-Is there a way to do it inside the above while loop that I am not seeing?
2- Do I need to open the file in another manner? 
2- Would it be best to now loop through $hold[$record_count]

I am trying to keep the process short so as not to use up too much memory.  Point me in the right direction for this one please.
