PHP - How To Wrap A Url Which Is In The String With Href Tag?

Hello all,

I'm trying to change the end of a javascript call based on the end of the url string. The common part of all the url strings is sobi2Id=, I'm trying to do this with strstr but am having no luck. I'm new to php so my syntax knowledge is terrible!

at the moment i've got

Code: [Select]
<?php

       $url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

     $tag = strstr ($url, 'sobi2Id=');

       echo $tag; 
?>
but this returns an unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

Can anyone debug this? I may well be being really silly!

I am trying to create some navigation link with sublinks in a <ul> list.  Here is the set up.

Table = categories
fields:
id
cattitle = title
parentid = level of the link (0 = top level)
cat_loc = the id value of the link that this link will be sublink of

example: 1st link:  id 1, title - home, parentid - 0, cat_loc - null;
               2nd link: id - 5, title - info, parentid - 0, cat_loc - null;
               3rd link: id - 6, title - test, parentid - 1, cat_loc - 5;

so test should be a sublink of info.  Here is what I have for code so far...

<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . './includes/magicquotes.inc.php';

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . './includes/db.inc.php';


$result = mysqli_query($link, 'SELECT * From categories order by orderby asc');
if (!$result)
{
$error = 'Error getting categories: ' . mysqli_error($link);
include 'error.php';
exit();
}

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$navlink[] = array('id' => $row['id'], 'cattitle' => $row['cattitle'], 'cat_loc' => $row['cat_loc'], 'parentid' => $row['parentid']);
}
echo '<ul>';
$count = 0;
foreach ($navlink as $nav):
{
if ($nav['parentid'] == 0)
{
if ($count!=0){echo " | ";}
echo '<li>' . '<a href="home.php?id=' . $nav['id'] . '"' . ' ' . 'title="' . $nav['cattitle'] . '">' . htmlspecialchars($nav['cattitle']) . '</a>';
                $count++;
}
if ($nav['parentid'] != 0)
{

$result2 = mysqli_query($link, 'Select * From categories where "$nav[cat_loc]" = "$nav[id]"');
if (!$result2)
{
$error = 'Error getting categories: ' . mysqli_error($link);
include 'error.php';
exit();
}


echo '<ul>';
while ($row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($result2))
{
$subnavlink[] = array('id' => $row2['id'], 'cattitle' => $row2['cattitle']);
}
foreach ($subnavlink as $subnav):
{
echo '<li>' . '<a href="home.php?id=' . $subnav['id'] . '"' . ' ' . 'title="' . $subnav['cattitle'] . '">' . htmlspecialchars($subnav['cattitle']) . '</a></li>';
}
endforeach;

}

}
endforeach;

echo '</ul>';

yes I do have the php closed further down the page.

Part of my problem is that the sublinks won't be in the database right after their parent links so I don't think the way I have my foreach loop set up is right.

I know I don't have my <ul>'s and <li>'s closed correctly yet.  I just want to get the subnavs to show up, I can fix those later.  Any ideas?

Code: [Select]
30|24|17,5|4|20,15|13|33,15|22|33,9|20|22
Let's say my output is that,

Realistically every 3numbers is 1 Ticket they are seperated by a "," (comma)

I want to wrap parenthesis around them so the output would look like this

Code: [Select]
(30|24|17) (5|4|20) (15|13|33) (15|22|33) (9|20|22)
Now would I have to use regex.. or not cuz regex is extremely difficult

Thanks

So far I have this php statement, but I'm having trouble wrapping it in this php code. 

 <?php if ($page=="home") echo " "; ?>

I'm not sure if putting the whole javascript code above is a good idea in the echo quotes.  Is there an easier or better way of wrapping javascript in PHP?   Your help appreciated.  

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!

Hello all 1st post here

I red in an older post how to add <br /> using the wordwrap() function , ok i used it it worked , but not as i was expecting and here is the point i need your help.

I have a table which i pull some strings from the database.Horizontal space is limited to i wanted arround 70 charecters per line.
The problem i have is because i used the above function the text ofcourse always keeps 70 characters and makes the text formation not to look so appealing..here is what i mean as an example

Pros: bla bla bla bla bla bla  bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

This is how the output is looks like in the page. I would like something like this :

Pros: bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla blabla blabla bla bla bla bla
bla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla bla
bla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla bla

If there is a way to tell php : hey make the 1st line to have 70 characters and all the rest to have 90.

Is a visual problem in other words.
The code is this Pros: <?php echo wordwrap(($row_site_list['pros']),70,"<br />",true)?><br />
Any ideas, pointers?

Thanks

I need to wrab <b> tags around the current Letter (If they clicked on it)

Code: [Select]
$letters = range('A', 'Z');
$menu=(empty($menu))?'':$menu;
$menu.='<center><div class=pages>Starts With: ';
foreach ($letters as $letter) {

    $menu .= '<a href="?a=(^_-)&muffin='. $letter .'">'. $letter .'</a>'." &bull; ";
}
$menu.= '</div></center>';

if ( isset( $_GET['muffin'] ) AND in_array($_GET['muffin'], $letters ) ){
   
    // CONNECT TO DATABASE AND QUERY
    $q_extra .= " AND m.name LIKE '".mysql_escape_string($_GET['muffin'])."%'";
    // DO QUERY AND CHURN OUT RESULTS
   
    }

I tried

Code: [Select]
if ($_GET['muffin'] == $letter){
$boldtag1 = '<b>';
$boldtag2= '</b>';
}
I tried that inside my foreach and it's not working, it shows the bold stuff all over, not around the current selection ?

Anyone can chime on this one for me? ty

Current selection I mean around the '.$letter.' so it looks nice and bolded if clicked on

got this function in php.net i guess


function mywordwrap($string)
{
$length = strlen($string);

for ($i=0; $i<=$length; $i=$i+1)
    {
    $char = substr($string, $i, 1);
    if ($char == "<")
        $skip=1;
    elseif ($char == ">")
        $skip=0;
    elseif ($char == " ")
        $wrap=0;

    if ($skip==0)
        $wrap=$wrap+1;

    $returnvar = $returnvar . $char;

    if ($wrap>8) // alter this number to set the maximum word length
        {
        $returnvar = $returnvar . "<wbr>";
        $wrap=0;
        }
    }

return $returnvar;

} 

 
after using this when i try to validate my page in http://validator.w3.org i get this error

Line 124, Column 38: end tag for "wbr" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
  <td width="15%">sdfasdfsdfadfddfdfsafasd<wbr>a</td>
✉
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

what is the fix for 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.

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 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

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.

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:) !
