PHP - Find And Replace Text

I have this code reads the xml runs with no errors but will not input the data from the array in the <catparent>

The script

Code: [Select]
<?php
// isbn => pages
$page_numbers = array(
                     '1234' => 'hello parent', // insert data into catparent node
                     '5678' => 'hello parent', // insert data into catparent node
                );
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load('edtest1.xml');
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$items = $xpath->query('item');
foreach($items as $item)
{
    $catcode = $item->getElementsByTagName['catcode'];
$parent_code = $page_numbers[ $catcode[0] ];
$item->appendChild( $dom->createElement('catparent', $parent_code) );
}
$dom->save('edtest_stack.xml');
?>

My XML file looks like

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<items>

<item>
<catcode>1234</catcode>
<catdesc>Systems - System Bundles</catdesc>
</item>

<item>
<catcode>5678</catcode>
<catdesc>Hard Drives - SATA</catdesc>
</item>
</items>

Output XML looks like this as you can see it has created the <catparent> but will not insert the data from the array.

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<items>

<item>
<catcode>1234</catcode>
<catdesc>Systems - System Bundles</catdesc>
<catparent></catparent></item>

<item>
<catcode>5678</catcode>
<catdesc>Hard Drives - SATA</catdesc>
<catparent></catparent></item>
</items>

Any ideas pointers as to where I'm going wrong would be most helpful

Folks,

I need to Find and Replace some words in Source HTML, which is saved in a PHP Variable.

Example:

Quote

$html = '<img src="some_source" title="paintball mask Picture" alt="Image for Paintball Mask"> <strong> Best Paintball Mask</strong>';


Find Condition: I want to FInd word "Paintball Mask" in vairiable $html, only where if the word "Paintball Mask" is there in Htaml Tag <Strong> </Strong>.  As you can observe in $html, we have "Paintball Mask" in <IMG> Tag also, i want to Skip this because I only Need to COnsider if the word "Paintball Mask" there in <strong></strong> or not.


One the words is found in <strong></strong> tag, i need to replace that word, to make it a hyperlink. (I think this bit can be done with strreplace())

But how can i restict my search to only <strong></strong> tag?



Let me give Data Again:

Quote

$html = '<img src="some_source" title="paintball mask Picture" alt="Image for Paintball Mask"> <strong> Best Paintball Mask</strong>';

Find What: Paintball Mask

Find in Which Tag: <strong> </strong>

Replace it with: <a href="/">Paintball Mask</a>



can someone help me with the code?

Cheers

I know this won't be possible with DOC, but it should be with DOCX.

Basically I want to have someone write up a docx file using special tokens in certain places.  Then my PHP would find and replace those tokens when the users needs to.  It would create and serve a NEW docx file with the tokens replaced.

Any ideas on this? I'm reading up on a ton of libraries, but nearly all of them, their examples don't work out of the box.

Thanks!

Im dealing with html links in a database where I need to execute a small piece of php code. Well mysql doesnt execute php code thats held in a table. The easiest way for me to do this is just add the links without the code, & set up a function that will replace anything I set to for example in my case a link lookin like this:

http://mysite.com/index.php?page=offers&blah=blah&sid=

needs to look like this;

http://mysite.com/index.php?page=offers&blah=blah&sid=<?php echo $_SESSION['login']; ?>

so I would need a function like

<?php
$replace('sid=','sid=<?php echo $_SESSION['login'];?>
?>

something like that.

And I know its possible & I could create a function like this but honestly right now I am so tired after working 12 hours im lazy dont want to think to hard while I know there are a lot of people out there that have a function like this already.

If you dont have one & dont feel like writing one for me could you atleast point me in the right direction so I dont have to think to hard?!

Thanks!!

what im trying to do is take a youtube embed code find the URL code for that video and remove all other parts of the code keeping only the URL of the video
after i get the URL by it self then replace the http://www.youtube.com/ part of the URL with http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/

to do this i know that i need something like this to get the URL of the video
http://www.youtube.com/((?:v|cp)/[A-Za-z0-9\-_=]+)
but how to only return just the URL is something idk how to do

then use str_replace http://www.youtube.com/(?:v|cp)/" with  http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/

so in the end im asking if anyone know how to remove all other codes i dont want  and only keep the URL


this may have to be done using "regex" im not sure as i dont know to much about regex and what it can do but does sound like it would help lol

Hi! Basically, I'm making a PHP file that lists things from a file, so if the file contained; '@-Line 1-@@-Line 2-@' it would produce <li><a href="#">Line 1</a></li><li><a href="#">Line 2</a></li>, but I want it so it changes the coding for 1 of every 2 lines. So I've came up with this code:
$myFile = "list.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, 100);
fclose($fh);
$oldtxt = array("@-", "-@");
$newtxt = array('<li><a href="#">','</a></li>');
$newData = str_replace($oldtxt, $newtxt, $theData);
$array = explode("</li>", trim($newData));
$lineno = count($array);
$linenofinal = $lineno - 1;
for($i=1;$i<$linenofinal;$i++){
if(($i % 2)=='0'){

}
}
The bit that I'm stuck on is inside the if statement. How could I get it to replace for example <li> in line $i with <li class="1in2">

Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to use preg_replace but I can't get it working.

function replaceContent($sContent)
{
$aReplaceTags = array(
"'\[MENU-CARD\](.*?)\[/MENU-CARD\]'is" => '\\1',
"'\[CONTACT-FORM\]'is" => "Contactform",
);

return preg_replace(array_keys($aReplaceTags), array_values($aReplaceTags), $sContent);
}


This works great however when I change '\\1' into a function the output of '\\1' will always be 1.


function replaceContent($sContent)
{
$aReplaceTags = array(
"'\[MENU-CARD\](.*?)\[/MENU-CARD\]'is" => $this->loadMenuCard('\\1'),
"'\[CONTACT-FORM\]'is" => "Contactform",
);

return preg_replace(array_keys($aReplaceTags), array_values($aReplaceTags), $sContent);
}


Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?

Hi,


I am trying to take a string from a database and replace everything within {} with code... similar to how posting in a forum works.


so say I have "...Lorem ipsom {gallery:1} sit imet..."
it will take that string (from a DB) and replace "{gallery:1}" with "<?php gallery('1'); ?>". How can this be done? Or is there keywords I can search on to find the answer? Thank you in advance.

I have the following variable:

$text = "javascript:openimage('http://images.icecat.biz/img/norm/high/5966342-254.jpg',850,850)"

Now I want to put the string "http://images.icecat.biz/img/norm/high/5966342-254.jpg" into a variable called $url
( $url = "http://images.icecat.biz/img/norm/high/5966342-254.jpg" )

How do I do this?

I have the auto suggestion script. While the user is typing, results are printed below (from the database). The results are printed with bold letters that are in the search. However, this leads to errors in capitalization. The letters are replaced by users' queries, instead of from the database.

Example:
Search word:
PHP

Results:
PHPfreaks,
PHP tutorials

But in the database this is the records: "phpfreaks" and "php tutorials".


This is a script that replaces search letters with bolded:
Code: [Select]
  $search = clean($_POST["search"]);

  $fname=$row['name']; //Record from database



  $re_fname='<b>'.$search.'</b>'; //Replace with bold letter


  $final_fname = str_ireplace($search, $re_fname, $fname);

How to do a script that bold letters, but as they were in the database, not from search input?

Hi, Everyone!

I have an issue and I'm not even sure if it can be done with PHP, but even this info would help me (to stop looking for an answer).

I need to populate a (MySQL) database with stuff which is now written in a (HTML formatted) file. Here are my options:
1. Copy/paste each single field via PHPMyAdmin .
2. Write a little script to extract the necessary parts of text from these files to create a CSV-like content which I would then easily INSERT into the db.

Example
The files look like this:

Code: [Select]
<!-- SEPARATOR (same throughout the file(s) -->

<tr><td>

<div style="something"><img src="img/what_i_need_to_extract_1.png"></div>

</td><td>

<div style="something else"><b>What I need to extract 2</b></div>
<div style="something else">What I need to extract 3</div>

</td></tr>

<!-- SEPARATOR (same throughout the file(s) -->
etc ...
and it goes like... 100 times in each file in the same standard pattern with the "What I need to extract" parts being completely different each time.

Since it's possible to tell when each part required for extraction begins and ends, I would expect the script to look for these key-points (according to the example, it would be: img/ to  "></d then "><b> to </b>< and else"> to </div>) and return a result like this (acc. to the example): ('what_i_need_to_extract_1.png', 'What I need to extract 2', 'What I need to extract 3'), (and so on...).

Is it possible? Is there a function/option/way to look for a start/end-point like this and fetch the part between these two set points? If so - how? Any help would be appreciated, I'm not expecting a full code, obviously, just a point to the right direction or where to look at would be nice. Thanks in advance.

i am making a search engine to search my site and the code is going well but i don't know how to find your search within the results and put it in bold (like google does). I use a thing called http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ for getting the html of my website.

Code: [Select]
<?php include('simple_html_dom.php'); ?>
<?php 

$s = $_GET["s"];
if ($s == null) 
    echo "you have not searched for anything";
else
    echo "you searched for $s<hr>";

$urls[0] = 'http://url.com/';
$urls[1] = 'http://url2.com';

foreach ($urls as $url)
{
   $html = file_get_html($url);
   strip_tags($html);
   preg_match("/<body>(.*)<\/body>/s", $html, $body);
   $htmls_split = split('<', $body[1]);
   
   foreach ($htmls_split as $line)
   {
      if (preg_match("/$s.*/", $line, $matches))
      {
         echo "<p>$matches[0]";
      }
   }
}

?>

The title says it all,..well as all u can see, there are many methods to accomplish this done but not before undergoing through a heavy tasking process. For instance,
1. Open the file
2. Reads the content of the file into array.
3. Find out the desire line of text that we want to replace.
4. Make that line of text as variable and assigns with the new data(that we want to replace) as its values.
5.open another file.
6.Write the whole contents to the file opened in 5.
7. Put the contents back to the file of original.

Can anyone contributes a better way to get this done? Like replace/delete a specific line without affecting other characters or anything therein?
Thanx.

P.S
reading and using str_replace to make the alteration always ends up in giving some kind of result beyond desired after the first round of code execution.
