PHP - Preg_match() Question
I have this
$val="my friend is a female"; how to check whether a word "male" is there or not using preg_match() i wish to get FALSE result for that case and TRUE if i modify a bit into $val="both male/female" thanks in advance! Similar TutorialsI have searched a lot but no information about this aspect. I wonder how much heavy is the process of getting parts of a webpage by preg_match? But my question is that which of these options are in favor of lighter CPU process: 1. getting each item between specified tags by a preg_match or 2. First getting the content between <body>, then processing by php tools such as preg_match (again), explode, etc. Thanks for considering this unusual question Why oh why does this not work?

if (preg_match("[0-9]", "2")) { This topic has been moved to PHP Regex. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=357263.0 Hi, I'm using preg_match to validate various fields. I wish to check that a string the length of four numbers, as a year, eg. 2010. How would I do this, something like: Code: [Select] /^[0-9'\s]{4}*$/i? As usual, I have no idea. Why dosent this work, im trying to match upper case, lower case and numbers only Code: [Select] $id = '3xDJ7@#'; if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]/', $id)){ echo "ERROR!"; }else{ echo 'ok'; } This always echos "ok" I know $regex_pattern is wrong but I need a solution to find a content between <body> and </body>. Code: [Select] <?php $content = "<html><head><title>Your IP</title></head><body>Your IP Address: 63.1.142.154</body></html>"; $regex_pattern = "/<body>(.*)<\/body>/"; $preg_match($regex_pattern,htmlspecialchars($content),$matches); print_r( $matches ); ?> I need to select an array item based on my preg result. for example: Code: [Select] $content = 'test-1'; $match = preg_replace('|test-([0-9])|', $array['\\1'], $content); is this possible? I'm pretty new to this, How exactly could i get the text between the www. and .com? so if i have a url: http://www.facebook.com I want to just return "facebook" Im trying to match this string, but i dont wat to match normal words like "hello world 646" Code: [Select] $string = "2ab055843241f20044af82ae0d5ace04"; //always over 15 chars - without spaces if ( preg_match('~^[0-9\s]+$~D', $string)) { echo 'yes'; } If i can do it with preg_match that would be great I have a DOMDocument which I inspect an HTML page for links (href) That part works however I am not sure how to use preg_match if I only want to display a link in this layout: <tr> <td headers="c1"><a title="Link to entity information." tabindex="1" href="CORPSEARCH.ENTITY_INFORMATION?p_nameid=3236937&p_corpid=3227476&p_entity_name=%41%72%77%65%6E%20%45%71%75%69%74%69%65%73&p_name_type=%41&p_search_type=%42%45%47%49%4E%53&p_srch_results_page=0">ABC LLC</a></td> </tr> I hope someone is really good at preg_match to help me. Thanks. Hi guys, I have been using this code: preg_match('/<h2>(.*?)<\/h2>/', $data, $matches); which i changed to: $tag1 = 'h2'; $tag2 = 'h2'; preg_match('/$tag1(.*?)$tag2/', $data, $matches); however i need it to work allowing variables (of any character or symbol) within $tag1. I tried $tag1 = 'h(.*?)2'; $tag2 = 'h2'; preg_match('/$tag1(.*?)$tag2/', $data, $matches); but that does not work .... essentiall the whole thing would work like this (example only): firstpartoftag1VARIABLE1lastpartoftag1VARIABLE2tag2 ps the preg_match should only capture the VARIABLE2 data not VARIABLE1 any ideas or help would be much appreciated cheers in advance Hi im trying to do a registration form and i am new to using preg_match. I keep getting the error "( ! ) Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in C:\wamp\www\registration1.php on line 67" and for every other line I use preg_match. this is an example of how i have used it Code: [Select] if ( preg_match('^[[:alnum:]\.\'\-]{4,50}$', stripslashes(trim($_POST['UserName']))) ) { $UserName = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['UserName']); $query = "SELECT UserName FROM Users WHERE UserName = '$UserName'"; $result = @mysql_query($query); $num = @mysql_num_rows($result); im such a noob at this can someone please help me I would also like to add that I have read the http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php page but i dont really understand it. in my site search some of the results come out still with html. i have used the strip tags function but how would i use the preg_match function to get rid of the "> still left over? im trying to make a script so i can get users details like longitude, latitude etc

Hi, I have the following code which FTPs to a site, gets the source code for a HTML file and then puts the data inbetween <TITLE> and </TITLE> into an array and this works fine: <?php $file = file_get_contents("ftp://user:pass@domain/public_html/index.html", "r"); if (!$file) { echo "<p>Unable to open remote file.\n"; exit; } preg_match_all ('/<TITLE>(.*)<\/TITLE>/msU', $file, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); print_r ($matches); ?> Rather than finding a match for data between <TITLE> and </TITLE> however I would like it to pull back what is inbetween the following: <!--START--> and <!--END--> I have tried the following but it doesn't put anything into the array: preg_match_all ('/<!--START-->(.*)<\/!--END-->/msU', $file, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); This is the content of the html file if this helps: Code: [Select] <TITLE>The Title</TITLE> <!--START--><p><strong>Some Text</strong></p> <p><strong><img src="images/IMAG0152_2.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="100" /></strong></p> <!--END--> i can get a match on stuff between TITLEs but not START and END.. I'm not sure how to change preg_match_all to work!! i've tried loads of combinations but can't get any to work, but i'm not really sure on modifiers and patterns or escaping etc, if anyone could help that would be great. Thanks in advance kev. Hi,
I don't know much about php. Recently my host updated php version to 5.4 and i function eregi() is deprecated errors, so after some googling, replaced it with preg_match but i am stuck with errors
Code:
preg_match("^ and", "", $mid_str)
Error: Warning: preg_match(): No ending delimiter '^' found
Tried the following method but not working
preg_match("/^ and/", "", $mid_str)
Can you guys help me with correct code?
Thanks for looking.
I've tried alot of different ways, google, but just can't find the correct way to do this.. I'm trying to search for a word in an inputted string.. here's the code <html> <head><title>TESTING</title></head> <body> <form method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"/> email: <input type=text name=email value="" /><br/> feedback: <input type=text name=ex value=""/><br/> <input type="submit" value="submit" /><br/> </body> </html> <?php $email = $_GET['email']; $ex = $_GET['ex']; $pattern = '/^[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]+$/'; //$pattern1 = '/nprezident/prezident/'; if(!preg_match($pattern, $email)){ echo 'invalid email address<br/>'; } else { echo 'good to go<br/>'; } if(preg_match('/nprezident/,/prezident/', $ex)){ echo 'just something about that sentence is nice'; } else { echo 'no good'; } ?> Ok the one I'm having a problem with is the second preg_match when trying to search for two words i can get one word to print but when i use add a second word it gives an error. How do i add a second word? How to a check if a php variable value is one of the following characters: A to J, or ,k to t, (ie.: A B C D E F G H I J k l m n o p q r s t)
