PHP - Inject String At A Certain Position

hey guys im trying to find a string inside a string which could be made up of different things eg...

{$test}, {$test1}, {$test2}   
etc (but the varable inside could be called anything hence maybe using regex im not sure?)
is this possible?...i hope you guys understand....thanks

I have the following function, which takes a string with commas in it and attempts remove those commas. The way I have it here is that I use explode to take out the commas, which makes an array, and then iterate through that array to put a string back together without the commas.

function tags_to_sort_by( $sortMeta ) {      
   $sortByArray = explode(",", $sortMeta);
   $sortByCount = count($sortByArray);
   for ($i = 0; $i < $sortByCount; $i++) {
      $sortByString += $sortByArray[$i];
   }
   return $sortByString;
}

What does not work is the following line:
$sortByString += $sortByArray[$i];
Somehow that outputs a 0, which I don't understand. It should output something like: arrayItem1 arrayItem2 array3 etc.

My question is if there either is an easier way to remove the commas from the original string or what I am doing wrong in this line:
$sortByString += $sortByArray[$i];  // I am trying to concatenate each part of the array back into the string.

Thanks a lot for help with this!

In PHP Version 8.0 shows error as :
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: string * string 
String is as under :
$TAXVALUE= round($QNTY*($PRICE- ($PRICE*$DISC/100)),2);

In previous versions of PHP it does not show any error.

Please resolve the issue.

Hello guys i am trying to figure out how to fwrite a string for example "Recommended Settings for Service Pack" under "Current Settings for Service Pack: 5.1.2600ServicePack3Build2600". I figure i cant use line number as an argument because the file report may be dynamic so i will need to use Current Settings as an argument. Please guide me if you have any ideas..thanks:) !

auditreport 
table
ServicePackSetting
Service Pack Requirement: Fail
Current Settings for Service Pack: 5.1.2600ServicePack3Build2600   
MajorAuditandAccountPolicies   
Maximum Password Age Requirement: Fail
Current Settings for Maximum Password Age Requirement: 42   
Minimum Password Length: Fail
Current Settings for Minimum Password Length Requirement: 0

I need to know if a string exists within a string.

I've tried using STRIPOS() but it returns zero or false if what I'm looking for is the first part of the string.

I don't care what function I use, but I need to get a "true" when the needle string is present anywhere in the haystack string, even at location zero.

Is there some way to set up the STRIPOS() statement?

I've tried:


if ((stripos($title, 'needle') > 0 )
if ((stripos($title, 'needle') = true )
and even
if ((stripos($title, 'needle') >= 0 )
which returns true for everything, even when the needle string is NOT present.

Any help appreciated.

thanks,
Tom

Ok... I had typed this post out ONCE already and when I clicked REFRESH IMAGE to get a diff captcha it ERASED MY POST

LMAO this is not my night....


What I need help with is probably more simple then I can even think right now - ive been digging at this for 3 hrs now and im out of time for the night

I have a DB Record storing ID's between PIPES |

when the initial entry is made in DB it stores it like so
|47|      NOTE: the number could be different these are ID's number doesnt matter its just between Pipes

When the second entry is added its added like so

|47||67|

say we have a total of 5 Entries

|47||67||82||55||69|

I need to find ID 82 in that string and it has to be between Pipes
Find 82 in data between | and return that ID 82

I am putting between pipes because the ID's can be duplicate digits in different lengths
so say I have 8 as my ID and down the string i have another id as 88  -- I cant possibly find the correct ID without some sort of seperation character so i used Pipes

soo my end goal is the ability to search and if true or false do action

if ($result == $find_id){
echo "ID is there";
}else{
echo "NOT THERE -- Adding it";
}
Any help is appreciated guys
Thanks

I am looking for a date within larger string, lets say the date is December 4, 2010.
To find it I use pattern and function below:

$Pattern='/[(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December)] \d, \d\d\d\d/i';
preg_match_all($Pattern, $String, $Matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, $NumberPosition);

The function finds the dates within the string but to my supprise the result I get in $Matches is: r 4, 2010
What I would like to get is: December 4, 2010 but don't know how it should be fixed. I thought that with the pattern I am using but obviously that is not the case.

I'm trying to do some regex, but I'm having trouble with my input string for the regex. I'm querying a server and getting results from that via socket and trying to regex the results and extract content. I've got the regex working (thanks to mjdamato ), but it only works when I have the regex string like this:

$input = "hostname: Hooter's GG 5.1 Elimination HLstatsX:CE version : 1.0.0.58/15 4426 secure udp/ip : 25.2.132.39:27015 map : fy_dustdm at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 0 (20 max) # userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state adr ";

When I get the results from my socket it's stored in a variable and it doesn't work when it's exactly the same. I did var_dump on the results from the socket and this is what it outputs:
string(229) "hostname: Hooter's GG 5.1 Elimination HLstatsX:CE version : 1.0.0.58/15 4426 secure udp/ip : 25.2.132.39:27015 map : fy_dustdm at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 0 (20 max) # userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state adr " 

Since it's exactly the same why doesn't the second way work? Let me know if this is too confusing..

 hey guys just a simple one...im trying to replace {$name}  but i dont think ive got the right prefix in the str_replace function...if anyone could tell me where i am going wrong please

$content = str_replace("{/$".$variable."}", $value, $content);
{$name}

Given a text value $path, I want to return the actual path.  One option is a switch statement as shown below.  Another option is put them in an associated array (or maybe a static array?) and check if the element is set and if not throw an deception.  Or maybe a totally different solution.  Is one solution better (i.e. more efficient) than another?  I will probably be retrieving a path around 5 times for every server hit. Thanks

    function getPath($path)
    {
      switch($path){
        case 'classes': $path=__DIR__;break;
        case 'application': $path=dirname(__DIR__);break;
        case 'root': $path=dirname(dirname(__DIR__));break;
        case 'twig': $path=dirname(dirname(__DIR__)).'/vendor/autoload.php';break;
        case 'lib': $path=dirname(__DIR__).'/lib';break;
        case 'help': $path=dirname(__DIR__).'/lib/help';
        case 'templates': $path=dirname(__DIR__).'/lib/templates';
        case 'htdocs_base': $path=dirname(dirname(__DIR__)).'/html';
        case 'resources_base': $path=dirname(dirname(__DIR__)).'/user_resources';
        // About 10 more
        default: throw new Exception("Path {$path} not valid.");
      }
      return $path;
    }

I have a query at the moment that gives a name, number of rides and number of points  

SELECT  COUNT( `points` ) AS 'rides', SUM( `points` ) AS 'pts', rider_name
FROM tbl_heat
WHERE card_id = $card
GROUP BY `rider_name`
ORDER BY pts DESC

  what I want to do now is add the position in a league table, I have tried amending the query and have the following  

SELECT @serial := @serial +1 AS pos, rider_name
FROM(
SELECT  COUNT( `points` ) AS 'rides', SUM( `points` ) AS 'pts', rider_name
FROM tbl_heat
JOIN (

SELECT @serial :=0
) AS init
WHERE card_id = $card
GROUP BY `rider_name`
ORDER BY pts DESC
) as sorted

  however this query doesn't give what I am after, not sure how far off getting it right, any help would be great

Hello.
i have created a template in dreamweaver, however when i added php code to a page the position of my bottom div got messed up...
it works 100% with just text.

I have a container div with other divs in it. inside the container div i have a div named content, and this div is the only div which is editable.
in the bottom (outside of the container div) i have a bottom div which is centered with margin:0 auto; this divs position gets totally messed up once i add php code in the content div.


http://elevweb.skit.no/0111nema/action_adventure.php
here is the link to the page with php with it, as u can see the div with facebook etc in it got a messed up position.

Hi all,

Not sure if this is a browser feature kind of thing, or if it can be done with a script.

I'm looking at my page:
www.mysite.com/index.php?start=0

I scroll to the bottom of the page with the vertical scroll bar, and then click the pagation link to start on page 2, record #50:
www.mysite.com/index.php?start=50

Of course, the vertical scroll bar jumps back to the it jumps to the top of my page.

Is there a way to make it remember that the scroll bar was at the bottom (or in the middle)?

Thanks.
