PHP - [php] Random Word From Array

I'm using the code below to on echo certain words based on their index/key value, this works fine however, im trying to only do this in exploded quotes... the problem is, exploding quotes turns the portion into an array which cant be passed to str_word_count... how can i do the same thing only inside quotes. So that  hello world "this is a test" would become: Code: [Select]
Hello World This [0] => Is [1] => a [2] => Test [3] 

Im trying to always remove say the 4th word in quotations, or maybe the 3rd and 4th, whatever i want to omit i leave out from the echo, so echo $data[0].' '.$data[3].'; would output "This Test" omitting "Is A"

Code: [Select]
$data = 'hello world "this is a test"';
$data = str_word_count($data, 1);
echo $data[1].' '.$data[2].' '.$data[0];

I dont know how to word this really. what I want to do is

Code: [Select]

$Var[] = 3;
$Var[] = 6;
$Var[] = 2;
$Var[] = 17;

for($i=0; $i!=count($Var); $i++)
{
echo "#$i: ".$Var[$i]."\n";
}



I know I might be able to use rand() but I need it to echo ALL of the variables in the array in a random order, I know if I use count to find out how many variables there are that it would echo them 4 times randomly but might echo the same variable 2 times making it to where it only echos 3 different varables, if I am being confusing please let me know, I just want to get this resolved, thanks!

Hello all, I am newbie to php programming, any suggestions or advance greatly appreciated.

I can't figure out how to output two array random numbers in ascending order.

<?php

$l_numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,
 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47);
 
$mega = range(1, 27);


for($i = 0; $i <= 4; $i++)  {


 $random1 = array_rand($l_numbers);
  echo "$random1 \n" ;
}
for($e = 1; $e <= 1; $e++) {

 $random2 = array_rand($mega);
  echo "<p> Mega number is $random2 </p>";
}

echo "Winning numbers are $random1 and mega $random2";

?>

example: Winning numbers are 3,5,10,17,39 and mega 5.

Hi guys!

i got this code:
Code: [Select]
<?
$x = "abcde";

str_split($x);
for ($k=0; $k<=119; $k++){
$ax = array($x[0],$x[1],$x[2],$x[3],$x[4]);
shuffle($ax);
    $text = implode("", $ax) . "";
echo $text;
echo "<br />";
}
?>
if you test it you see that it is working but giving me allot of duplicates results!

there is a way to ignore duplicaes while it is runing?

thanx.

I have it to where it groups two parts of the Array randomly but I need to make it where it won't pair the same together, or if it has already been paired with a team then use another team. Each value of the array can only be used once.

Here is my code
shuffle($teamname);

$loopCount = $games;

for ($i = 0; $i < $loopCount; $i++) {
    $player1 = array_pop($teamname);
    $player2 = array_pop($teamname);
if(is_null($player1))
{
echo 'Not enough different teams to create '.$games.' games';
break;
}
    // output to screen
    echo "Team: " . $player1 . " Vs Team: " . $player2 . "<br />"; 

}
}

I have a user table that holds email addresses and for testing purposes I am trying to replace every email address with an email address defined in an array.  I would like to randomly choose an email address from the array and update the table with this address.  When I run the following code it randomly chooses a email address from the array but then updates every row with this one email address.  Can you someone please let me know what I am doing wrong.  Thanks in advance.

Code: [Select]
$query = "SELECT * FROM user '";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$input = array('email1', 'email2', 'email3', 'email4', 'email5', 'email6', 'email7');
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);
$replaceStr = $input[$rand_keys[0]];

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
 $rand_keys = "";
 $rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);
 $replaceStr = $input[$rand_keys[0]];

 mysql_query("UPDATE user SET email = '$replaceStr'");

}

As above,

I have a lottery style site that picks a random number between 1-8 but my users complain for some reason that this is not enough.

So i was told to look into using fopen and random.org to generate a random number.

Anyone have experience of this and perhaps a code snippet for me to look at and possibly use?

help will be appreciated.

Hi guys

I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words.


$find = "left";
$replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards");
$text = "left left left left";

echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text);


The Output is: array array array array

Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? 

Thanks

Your information has been added to our database
We have added

Event name = "whatever the event's name was"
Event address = "address:"

so on and so on for all the fields in my form that was submitted to the database.

with just using the echo command it always opened to just a blank page no formatting and no css as well as no all important links

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong or where I can find a good guideline that Is easy to understand on how to do this?

Thanks in advance

Oh also I don't care if that page get's indexed by google or yahoo or not actually prefer it don't get indexed to be honest

This is the best code i've found so far that guides on how to format the text in ms word via PHP. All set to go but one thing that I am trying to accomplish : to have a clickable email address (hyperlink) in the same ms word file.

i have got this code somewhere from the net:
Code: [Select]
$MyRange3->Hyperlinks->Add({range}, 'http://www.google.com', '','',' hyperlink text to display');
// where {range} refers to as anchor
according to that website this methods could be found in ms word visual basic editor (Alt+F11) then object browser (F2)

when i replace the {range} above with let say variable $MyRange3.
Code: [Select]
$MyRange3->Hyperlinks->Add($MyRange3, 'http://www.google.com', '','',' hyperlink text to display');
The output will be produced but overwriting everything in $MyRange3 and displays only the hyperlink.
I would like the email address (hyperlink) to appear at the end of $MyRange3 text.

example output
Code: [Select]
All right reserved [u]hyperlink text to display[/u]
anyone can shed some light on this.

Hello Guys,

I need some help  here.. I want to implement a Bad word filter and not quite sure how to do it..

I am grabbing the following vars from the text fields

$ad_title = filter_var($_POST['ad_title'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES);
$ad_body = filter_var($_POST['description'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,FILTER_FLAG_NO_ENCODE_QUOTES);

Then its inserted into the db.

I would like to run it through this function first..

Code: [Select]

FUNCTION BadWordFilter(&$text, $replace){

 
     // fill this array with the bad words you want to filter and their replacements
     $bads = ARRAY (
          ARRAY("butt","b***"),
          ARRAY("poop","p***"),
          ARRAY("crap","c***")
     );
 
     IF($replace==1) {                                        //we are replacing
          $remember = $text;
 
          FOR($i=0;$i<sizeof($bads);$i++) {               //go through each bad word
               $text = EREGI_REPLACE($bads[$i][0],$bads[$i][1],$text); //replace it
          }
 
          IF($remember!=$text) RETURN 1;                     //if there are any changes, return 1
 
     } ELSE {                                                  //we are just checking
 
          FOR($i=0;$i<sizeof($bads);$i++) {               //go through each bad word
               IF(EREGI($bads[$i][0],$text)) RETURN 1; //if we find any, return 1
          }     
     }
}
 
// this will replace all bad words with their replacements. $any is 1 if it found any
$any = BadWordFilter($wordsToFilter,1);
 


I really would also like to query a table for any words that match and then use a replacement like [censored]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a table in my php Mysql which contains some values..
Is it possible to get those values then export them to MS word with formatting? and make it like a table?

Help pls.
