PHP - Looking To Validate An Integer Up To 20 Digits Length

Can someone advise the edit required to include validation of US phone numbers ($phone_number3) when entered with no spaces between the area code and/or prefix.

Note: I have working code (regular expression) that validates phone numbers that enclose the area code with parenthesis or having a space, hyphen, or dot between area code, prefix, or last four digits.

Examples:  all three shown below are validated based on regular expresion
(123) 456-7890
123.456.7890
123 456 7890

However, I want to also include the option for 1234567890 (phone number have NO spaces) as valid.

I know the edit will be within ( |-|.)  using the PIPE but not sure how to denote the "no space" syntax within the regular expression.

See the regular expression: $good_phone = "^\(?[0-9]{3}\)?( |-|.)[0-9]{3}(-|.)[0-9]{4}$";

and if you wan to view the entire php snippet


// function which validates an American phone number

function validate_phone($phone_number) {
   $good_phone = "^\(?[0-9]{3}\)?( |-|.)[0-9]{3}(-|.)[0-9]{4}$";

   if (preg_match("/$good_phone/", $phone_number)) {
  echo "$phone_number is valid.<br/>";
   }
   else echo "$phone_number is NOT valid.<br/>";
}

$phone_number1 = "123.456.7890";
validate_phone($phone_number1);

$phone_number2 = "(123) 456-7890";
validate_phone($phone_number2);

$phone_number3 ="1234567890";
validate_phone($phone_number3);


 

Here's what I'm wanting to do:

Number = 100
In a for loop take that number, 100, and break it down into 5 random numbers to equal 100.

So the for loop would output something like this:

1. 32
2. 5
3. 18
4. 9
5. 36

Total = 100

Everytime the numbers would be different.

I hope that explains it

Thanks!

Hi Guys!

I have a method that get's all devices that share a specific ID. Foreach of those device UID's, I am trying to send a APN (Apple Push Notification) using the easyAPN's class.

The method that is having the problem is $apns->newMessage($id);

It seems to think I am not passing a valid integer for $id.

The $id is an array like so Array ( => 1 )

I have also tried passing just the value of the array like so $apns->newMessage($id[0]).

No matter what I do.. I keep getting this error...

"Notice: TO id was not an integer. 1) Messages_model::send_apns -> File: sendMessage.php (line 28) 2) APNS::queueMessage -> File: messages_model.php (line 195) 3) APNS::_triggerError -> File: class_APNS.php (line 599)"

Here is my method... please let me know where I've gone wrong with the $id.

function send_apns($data)
{
include 'apn_classes/class_DbConnect.php';
include 'apn_classes/class_APNS.php';

$message = new Messages_model();
$db = new DbConnect();
$db->show_errors();
$apns = new APNS($db);

//get uid's for aid
$sql = "SELECT `devices`.`uid` FROM `devices` WHERE `devices`.`aid` = '".$data['target']."'";
//echo $sql;
$query = mysql_query($sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($query))
{
while($uid_data = mysql_fetch_array($query))
$uids[] = array(
"uid" => $uid_data['uid']
);
}

//make sure there is a uid
if(!empty($uids))
{
//check the device apn pid
foreach($uids as $uid)
{
$sql = "SELECT `apns_devices`.`pid` FROM `apns_devices` WHERE `apns_devices`.`deviceuid` = '".$uid['uid']."'";
//echo "$sql";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0)
{
while($pid_data = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$pids[] = array(
"pid" => $pid_data['pid'],
);

if(!empty($pids))
{
foreach ($pids as $pid)
{
$id = array($pid['pid']);
print_r($id);
//Send APN
$apns->newMessage($id[0]);
$apns->addMessageBadge(128);
$apns->addMessageAlert($data['message']);
$apns->addMessageSound('chime');
//$apns->addMessageCustom('acme2');
$apns->queueMessage();
$apns->processQueue();
}
}
}
}
}

}
else 
{
echo "Device Does not Exist";
}



}

Hey,


I have this brainstorm whether I should store id's as integers or text? I mean in my database, since my IDs start from like 1319129364 which is a rather large number, I was thinking if it would be better to save it as text? Which case requires less memory ?

So I am trying to take a string value of dollars (posted from a form) and times it by 100 to get the cents Integer value of the dollars.  For some reason if I do this with something like 278.53  I end up with 27852.  Same concept for 278.59 ends up as 27858.  I don't understand why or how to make it work.  I've tried many things and nothing has made it work.

$price = '278.53'; // posted from the form
$cents = $price * 100; // converting to cents.
end_result = (int)$cents // This will end up being 27852 not 27853.

 

Ive got a simple function that's counting percentages of the results, and what I want is when the first line does $variable / 100 - to go on 2 decimals(ex. 0.72142141 what I want is to write 0.72).

Code: [Select]
function postotak(){
$p = $bodovi / 100;
$postotak = $p * 100;

I want to round off an integer vaule to 10-6 grd from

52.71666666  to  52716666

0.926888888  to  926888

does anyone know a simple way to do this?

Hi i'm trying to get out a sub string from multiple pages where i'm using a start point string that looks like this "(integer)" where "integer is different every time. Is there any way I can tell it that its just an integer there so if its "(3)" on one page and "(10)" on another page it will start from the same spot?

When I post the data to mysql I want to submit the value as an integer.  How can I make this $12,000 be 12000?

I am making a online Bible with search function. I was able to do the boolean search for text keywords without much trouble. Now I want a user to be able to type in an exact verse into search form and have that verse display in results.

IE: User types in John 3:16 and search result displays that verse. The following works if the user types John:3:16. I cannot figure out how to do this without requiring the user to type a : after book name.
Code: [Select]
if($search_type=='verse'){

$query2 = explode(":", $query);
$bookquery = $query2[0];
$chapterquery = $query2[1];
$versequery = $query2[2];

$result4 = $db->sql_query("select * FROM Bible$version WHERE book = '$bookquery' AND chapter= '$chapterquery' AND verse ='$versequery'");
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result4)) {
$book = $row['book'];
$chapter = $row['chapter'];
$verse = $row['verse'];
$scripture = $row['scripture'];

echo "<b><a href=\"modules.php?name=Bible&amp;call=chapter&amp;viewbook=$book&amp;viewchapter=$chapter&amp;version=$version\">$book</a>&nbsp;$chapter:$verse</b>";
echo "<br>";
echo "$scripture";
echo "<hr>";
}

if(!$query){
echo "<b>You did NOT enter any keywords.</b><br>";
}
if(!$scripture){
echo "<b>No results found.</b>";
}

}

}

Is there a function to find first integer in the string and insert a : before it?

How can I modify the following code to not display $hash_row['total'], but to display the sum of the counted "total" value + 1?  Is there a way that I can assign that variable in the "select query" area (for instance, "COUNT(hr.hasher_id) + 1 as total1"), and then call $hash_row['total1] in the result table?

I'm not sure if the syntax exists to add an integer value to a COUNT value and assign to a new variable...

Code: [Select]
<?php 
include "modules/dbase_connection.php";

#create MySQL connection
$sql_connection = sql_connect("blah","blah","blah","blah");

# select the Hashers and  hashes by total number<br />
$hash_query = "
SELECT
ha.*,
COUNT(hr.hasher_id) as total
FROM
hashers as ha,
hash_records as hr
WHERE
hr.hasher_id = ha.hasher_id
GROUP BY
         hr.hasher_id
ORDER BY
total DESC
";

$hash_result = mysql_query($hash_query) or die(mysql_error());

$x = 1;


while($hash_row = mysql_fetch_array($hash_result))
{
#display the table header
if($x == 1) {
echo '
<br />
<table align="left">
<br />
<tbody>
<tr><br /><td colspan="2"><strong>Potential On-Sec</strong></td><br /></tr>';

         $x++;
}

echo '<tr><br /><td>' . $hash_row['hasher_name'] . '</td><br /><td>' . $hash_row['total'] . '</td><br /><td>- ' . $hash_row['real_name'] . '</td><br /></tr>';
}
echo '</tbody></table></td><br />';

?>

Hey, I am echoing out:

Code: [Select]
$source = implode(',', $arr2);
echo $source;
which is a array, and it echo's out: "2,2,2"

I am trying to find a php function to add each array, so the result will be "6".

Possible?

Hi, not sure if this is posted in the right place (think it should be in the Regex section  ) but hopefully someone can help me out a bit.

I have the following string for example which is stored in a variable called $var.

Quote

This is a reference [ref=17][/ref] number


I wish to extract only the number after the equals sign and store it as a variable. So I am using the following code to do so:

$ref_num = preg_replace("/.*?\[ref\=(.*?)\]\[\/ref\].*?/is", "$1", $var);

The only problem is, I can omit the text before the integer and the tags themselves but I still get the text after the [/ref] section and I cannot get rid of it. It seems my .*? placed after it doesn't work like it does at the beginning.

Can anyone offer any help at all, it will be greatly appreciated - I'm fairly new to using Preg_replace so I still don't know how best to form Regular Expressions.

Thanks, Dan


EDIT-
I have found a workaround which I will post below - however I would still like to solve it the way I planned originally which is the way I posted here. Here's what I did - because I know the integer is never going to be more than 5 characters long, I used the replace from before but added a substring like so.

$ref = substr(preg_replace("/.*?\[ref\=(.*?)\]\[\/ref\]/is", "$1", $var),0,5);

This grabbed the first 5 characters whether it was a number or not, then I used this to strip any non-numerical characters. Finally I added an intval to convert it to an integer rather than a string.

$ref = intval(preg_replace ('/[^\d\s]/', '', $ref));

how can i convert string type into integer like when using parseInt in javascript...however i use (int)$string but not working

i have this
$string1="10";
$string2="5";

and i wish to add both string ....using (int) still treat $string1 and $string2 as string so i get 105 as a result instead of 15
