PHP - Find Replace Based On Html Tag In Php

I'm trying to increment a numerical value and after several hours of reading haven't come up with a solution.
this may be too much information but here it is;

I'm using this code to change the values in r5include.html

Code: [Select]
<?php $ident = $_POST['ident']; ?>
<?php
$ident2 = ($ident . 2);
$filename = 'r5include.html'; 
$string = file_get_contents($filename); 
$old = array("'images/up.jpg'","add.html' target='_blank'");
$new = array("'$ident/$ident2.jpg'","$ident.html' target='iframe2'");
$data = str_replace($old,$new,$string);
$handle = fopen($filename, "w+"); 
fwrite($handle,$data); 
fclose($handle); 
?>

but before I do that I'm copying the original to a temp file with this code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$filename = 'r5include.html';
$string = file_get_contents($filename);
$tempfile = 'temp.html';
$handle = fopen($tempfile, "a"); 
fwrite($handle,$string); 
fclose($handle); 
?>
This is what goes to temp.html:

Code: [Select]
<img height=75 src='images/up.jpg'
hidefocus='true' usemap='#record51' />
<map name='record51'>
  <area shape='rect' coords='0,0,75,75'
href='add.html' target='_blank'>

I would like to increment the 2 instances of record51 to record52 and increment again each time the process is initiated.  And then  append it to r5include with this:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$myFile = "r5include.html";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$filename = 'temp.html';
$string = file_get_contents($filename);
fwrite($fh,$string);
fclose($fh);
?>
So the question is is it possible? and if so how do I increment the record number? 

Thanks,

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!

I wanted to replace a strings in a large text file .. what would be the fastest way ?!

e.g the text file contains ..

INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (1, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (2, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (3, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (4, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (5, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');

I wanted to replace the string " VALUES (1, " with  "VALUES (" in each line ..
I'm new in PHP so any response would be much appreciated .. thanks

Hi

I'm not sure if this needs to be in the MySQL forum so bare with me.

I have small script which parses an RSS feed and inserts data into a table. This all works fine, but my problem now, is that I have another table, which has logos and when i parse the RSS, I'd like to be able to pass in the logo from the logos table into the RSS parse table.

The problem is the RSS feed are products, with different suppliers, so I need to somehow check which manufacturer it is and then insert the image_id from the images table.

I have a field in the main table, which has things like 'Available at Amazon' and 'Available at Play.com'

What I want is some kind of join/like clause, where I can check, for example the word 'Amazon' in one field and match it to the images table.

schema of both tables
rss_table
id, title, message, price, logos_id
1, iPad, Available at Apple, 400.00, BLANK_ID

logos
id, name, src
2, Apple, apple-logo.jpg

So you can see, any product that gets parsed that has is available at apple, needs to have the logos_id of 2, if that makes sense?

Below is a small snippet of my code (it isn't brilliant but works)

I just need to then need to find the corresponding image to the manufacturer

<?php

$test = $_POST['post_title'];

$articles = array();
$easy_url = $_POST["url"];

$rawFeed = file_get_contents($easy_url);
$xml = new SimpleXmlElement($rawFeed);

$channel = array();
$channel['title']       = $xml->channel->title;
$channel['link']        = $xml->channel->link;
$channel['description'] = $xml->channel->description;

foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item)
{
        $article = array();
        $article['title'] = $item->title;
        $article['link'] = $item->link;
        $article['description'] = (string) trim($item->description);

preg_match_all('/&#38;#xA3;([0-9.]+)/', $item->description, $results);
foreach ($results as $k => $v) {
}

$all = '&#38;#xA3;'.$v[0];
$price_stripped = str_replace($all, '', $item->description);
$desc = preg_match('/&#38;#xA3;([0-9.]+)/', $item->description);

preg_match_all('/~#&pound;([0-9.]+)/', $item->description, $discount);
foreach ($discount as $d => $disc) {
str_replace("~#&pound;","", $disc[0]);
}

preg_match_all('/&pound;([0-9.]+)/', $item->description, $delivery_cost);
foreach ($delivery_cost as $del => $deliv) {
}
   
preg_match_all('/\|(.*?)\./',$item->description,$match);           
        foreach ($match as $rel => $retail) {
  $retail[0] = str_replace("|","", $retail[0]);
}   

//$retail_logo = str_replace('On sale at', '', $retail[0]);

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","password");
if (!$connection)
{
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

$total = $v[0] + $deliv[0] - $disc[0];

mysql_select_db("db_test", $connection);

mysql_query("INSERT INTO rss (title,  price, retailer_message,  logo_id)
VALUES ('$item->title', '$price_stripped', '$retail[0]', '$logo_id')");

mysql_close($connection);

}

?>


Any help is appreciated.

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

Hey guys,

I'm a total newbie here, and just about as a new to php. 

My issue:
I have a very large .html file that contain multiple articles (I actually have a few of these, but we'll start with one for practicality).  The article titles are all wrapped in <h2> tags, there are 10 articles in one file.  The articles are very simple, just a title wrapped with <h2> and then a few paragraphs wrapped in <p> tags. 

What I want to know how to do:
I want to know if there's a way to open that file, and have each article saved as it's own .html or .txt document (the title & following paragraphs of each article).
Ultimately taking my 1 large file, and creating the subsequent 10 smaller files from the articles inside of it.

I am having trouble explaining this in text so I'll try to illustrate:
I have "Articles.html" - which contains (article1,article2,article3.. ..article10)
I want to split "Articles.html" and create "Article1.html", "Article2.html", "Article3.html", etc.

Is that possible?  Or am I looking at something far more complex than I can imagine at this point - perhaps something I'd be better off doing by hand?




Ultimately I intend to stick all these articles into a database, but that's the 2nd part of what I want to do (and I think will be the easier of the tasks).
Let me know if you need any additional information in the event my description above is unclear... I simply am having issues figuring out how to separate out the text into individual articles.

Hello there,

Using PHP, what's the best way of replacing the contents between different HTML 5 element tags on the fly?
Some of the elements I'm looking to change can be found below.

I have looked into the possibility of using Regular Expressions, but have found lots of material on the internet that try to prevent you from using such a method for parsing HTML due to speed and other HTML code related issues.

Any help, example code, and ideas on this is greatly appreciated.

Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Some Title</title>
</head>

<body>
<div>Replace contents of div tag.</div>
<p class="someClass">Replace contents of p tag.</p>

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Static Table Heading 1</th>
    <th>Static Table Heading 2</th>
    <th>Static Table Heading 3</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Replace Table Data 1 Contents</td>
<td>Replace Table Data 2 Contents</td>
<td>Replace Table Data 3 Contents</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Replace Table Data 4 Contents</td>
    <td>Replace Table Data 5 Contents</td>
    <td>Replace Table Data 6 Contents</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Hello

I'm making a guestbook in PHP and I'm having trouble displaying the posts. The user fills a form and sends it, it goes into the database (mysql) and I can then fetch the data. So far so good.

I'm then going to use HTML to display the posts to the user. It's code looking like this:

Code: [Select]
<p>
<br /> ID: ---replaceid--- <br /><br />

Time: ---replacetime--- <br />
From: <a href="---replacehomepage---">---replacefrom---</a> <br />
Email: ---replacemail--- <br /> <br />

Comment: ---replacecomment--- <br /><hr>
</p>

I want to use str_replace in PHP to replace the values in HTML... like this:
Code: [Select]
$numquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM guestbook", $dbconnect);

$num = mysql_num_rows($numquery);
$i=1;
while ($i < $num) {

header('Content-type: text/html');
$html = file_get_contents("test.html");

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM guestbook WHERE id='$i'", $dbconnect);
$rows = mysql_fetch_row($query);

echo str_replace('---replaceid---', nl2br($rows[0]), $html);
echo str_replace('---replacetime---', nl2br($rows[1]), $html);
echo str_replace('---replacefrom---', nl2br($rows[2]), $html);
echo str_replace('---replacemail---', nl2br($rows[3]), $html);
echo str_replace('---replacehomepage---', nl2br($rows[4]), $html);
echo str_replace('---replacecomment---', nl2br($rows[5]), $html);

$i++;
}


But this only replaces ---replaceid---, leaves the rest and outputs it. Then, only ---replacetime--- is replaced and so on.
I hope you understand. It means that 1 guestbook entry is displayed like 6, with only 1 string replaced at each one.

What do you think I should do?

Worth saying is that I'm not allowed to mix PHP-code with HTML-code

Hi guys I am new here

I have had a search around and can't really find out how to do this. Its quite difficult for me to explain and I am really new to PHP / mySQL - just starting out really. I hope to learn from doing small projects like this and seeing how it gets done.

So I have a mySQL DB with two different tables - one is called "notesnew" the other is called "users".

I have modified a common tutorial on how to make a "to do list" for what I am doing here.

Basically users can login and post messages on this list as them self. Each user's post appears as a list item, showing their username, the time they posted the message and the message content. The message content, time and owner of the message is stored in the "notesnew" table.

The list of user's, their passwords and their "avatar/profile" image URL location is stored in the "users" table.

Now I am having trouble getting each user's avatar image from being output next to each of their posts. The part that is confusing me is being able to match up the username's post with their content that is display - because I am posting the user's name along with their post, based on the logged in "session name" as their username. So basically, all the content being listed is being displayed from the "notesnew" table. I need to somehow figure out what each user's profile image is based on what is stored against their entry in the "users" table.

Here is the code I have so far. It is not working properly - it displays all content etc, but displays the avatar / image of the last user that has registered. Can anyone help me out here with some code that works, or pointers to try follow? I know the $finduserprofile part is incorrect in the way it goes through all user's and finds their profileimg, and that the image displayed next to each post is therefore incorrect (as it displays the last member to have registered's avatar, but its just that I don't know how else to do what I am trying to do.

Code: [Select]
<?php
//Connect to the database
$connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'zzzz' , 'zzzzzzz');
$selection = mysql_select_db('zzzzz', $connection);

$username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];

//Was the form submitted?
if($_POST['submit']){

//Map the content that was sent by the form a variable. Not necessary but it keeps things tidy.
$content = $_POST['content'];

//Insert the content into database
$ins = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `notesnew` (content, owner, dp_time) VALUES ('$content', '$username', NOW())");

//Redirect the user back to the members or index page
header("Location:index.php");
}

/*Doesn't matter if the form has been posted or not, show the latest posts*/

//Find all the notes in the database and order them in a descending order (latest post first).
$find = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `notesnew` ORDER BY id DESC");
$finduserprofile = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` ORDER BY id DESC");

//Setup the un-ordered list
echo '<ul>';

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($finduserprofile))
{
$imagelocation = $row['profileimg'];
//Continue looping through all of them
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($find))
        {

$owner = $row['owner'];
//For each one, echo a list item giving a link to the delete page with it's id.
echo '<li>' . '<img src ="' . $imagelocation . '">' . $row['owner'] . ' said at ' . $row['dp_time'] . ': ' . $row['content'] . ' <a id="' . $row['id'] . '" href="delete.php?id=' . $row['id'] . '"><img src="delete.png" alt="Delete?" /></a></li>';

}
}

//End the un-ordered list
echo '</ul>';

?>

How do I find the nearest div of dynamically added html?

The situation is that I have a large string with some identifiers to say "replace me" with something else. My goal is to replace the values, but if one replacement includes one of the other keys, I don't want to replace it.   For example:

<?php
$str = 'some blob ~abc~ followed by ~def~';

$arr_orig = array(
	'~abc~',
	'~def~'
);

$arr_new  = array(
	'value~def~',
	'blah'
);

echo str_replace( $arr_orig, $arr_new, $str );
?>

This will echo: some blob valueblah followed by blah   But that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. Basically, I want ~abc~ to be replaced with the literal: value~def~ and for the ~def~ that happens to be part of that string to NOT be replaced. I hope what I'm asking is clear. Basically, preg_replace/str_replace with arrays seems no different than just doing a FOR loop and replacing ~abc~ and then ~def~. But that's not what I need.   I'm hoping that if ~abc~ is replaced with text that happens to be another identifier -- ~def~, ~xyz~, whatever -- that this already replaced text is not again replaced. Is there a built-in function to do something like this? If not, should I just parse the whole string and count characters or something? Seems like a pain (and slow!)

Hello,
I have ran into a unique scenario.  I am trying to generate a unix timestamp (by using the gmmktime function).  The problem is, I have multiple tags in a form doing the same thing.  for example (I have truncated some of the values for sake of page length/readability):
  Code: [Select]
<label for="dateMonth[6]">Date:</label>
 Month: <select name="dateMonth[6]" id="dateMonth[6]">
<option value="9">September</option>
<option value="10" selected="selected">October</option>
<option value="11">November</option>
<option value="12">December</option>
</select>
Day: <select name="dateDay[6]" id="dateDay[6]">
<option value="29">29</option>
<option value="30" selected="selected">30</option>
<option value="31">31</option>
</select>
Year: <select name="dateYear[6]" id="dateYear[6]">
<option value="2010" selected="selected">2010</option>
<option value="2011">2011</option>
<option value="2012">2012</option>
<option value="2013">2013</option>
</select>
Hour: <select name="dateHour[6]" id="dateHour">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
 Minute: <select name="dateMinute[6]" id="dateMinute">
<option value="0" selected="selected">00</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="30">30</option>
<option value="45">45</option>
</select>
AM/PM: <select name="AMPM[6]" id="AMPM">
<option value="AM">AM</option>
<option value="PM" selected="selected">PM</option>
</select>
Now, as you can see, I have an array of these elements.
AMPM[6] dateHour[6] dateMinute[6], AMPM[7] dateHour[7] dateMinute[7], AMPM[8] and so on...

The problem I am having is coming with the logic to consolidate all of the post variables that are 6s to make the unix timestamp, then all of the 7s to make a timestamp, and so on.  Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to go about processing this?

Thank you!
