PHP - How To Extract Certain Bit From String?

I just managed to login to a forum using curl, but then I found out I had to extract the session id before I could start posting. The session id is in a string like this:

sesc=b97b74351fde8dfbac7391af1f054de9

How do I extract the value b97b74351fde8dfbac7391af1f054de9 if I know that it comes righ behind "sesc=".

I think I am supposed to use strpos, but I don't know.

Hello,

Anyone know a way I could extract information from YouTube. If I have the URL for the video, how could I get the title, runtime, tags and so on into different strings?

    url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMAI26FPeyM";


Thanks

Can anyone help me output "Zinfandel|Sauvignon Blanc" from "This very nice wine is produced in California and is made from Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc grapes."? Please also notice the case insensitivity. I prefer the output with capitals on first words.    I created the following code :

<?php 
$ds = "Riesling|Sauvignon Blanc|Zinfandel|Muscat/i";
$string = "This very nice wine is produced in California and is made from zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc grapes.";

echo "This is the string to extract the grapes from : ";
echo $string;
echo "<br>";

echo "These are the grapes that need to be matched in a regular expression : ";
echo $ds;
echo "<br>";

$matches = array();
$search = preg_match_all($ds, $string, $matches);

foreach ($matches[1] as $match) {
    echo $match;
	// I want this to output "Zinfandel|Sauvignon Blanc" with a pipeline between the matches
}
?>

Any help pretty much appreaciated!

So I have been working on my website for a while which all is php&mysql based, now working on the social networking part building in similar functions like Facebook has. I encountered a difficulty with getting information back from a link. I've checked several sources how it is possible, with title 'Facebook Like URL data Extract Using jQuery PHP and Ajax' was the most popular answer, I get the scripts but all of these scripts work with html links only. My site all with php extensions and copy&paste my site links into these demos do not return anything . I checked the code and all of them using file_get_contents(), parsing through the html file so if i pass 'filename.php' it returns nothing supposing that php has not processed yet and the function gets the content of the php script with no data of course. So my question is that how it is possible to extract data from a link with php extension (on Facebook it works) or how to get php file executed for file_get_contents() to get back the html? here is the link with code&demo iamusing: http://www.sanwebe.c...-php-and-jquery thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am trying to make some adjustments to uploadify.php which comes with the latest version of uploadify (3.0 beta), so that it works with a session variable that stores the login username and adds it to the path for uploads.  Here is uploadify.php as it currently looks:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_name("MyLogin");
session_start();

$targetFolder = '/songs/' . $_SESSION['name']; // Relative to the root

if (!empty($_FILES)) {
$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $targetFolder;
$targetFile = rtrim($targetPath,'/') .'/'. $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

// Validate the file type
$fileTypes = array('m4a','mp3','flac','ogg'); // File extensions
$fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes)) {
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo '1';
} else {
echo 'Invalid file type.';
}
}

echo $targetFolder;

?>
I added Code: [Select]
echo $targetFolder; at the bottom so that I could make sure that the string returned was correct, and it is, i.e. '/songs/nick'.  For some reason though, uploads are not going to the correct folder, i.e. the username folder, but instead are going to the parent folder 'songs'.  The folder for username exists, with correct permissions, and when I manually enter Code: [Select]
$targetFolder = '/songs/nick';all works fine.  Which strikes me as rather strange.  I have limited experience of using php, but wonder how if the correct string is returned by the session variable, the upload works differently than with the manually entered string.

Any help would be much appreciated.  It's the last issue with a website that was due to go live 2 days ago!

Thanks,

Nick

So I make a colum in my table called "friends"

Is there a way to update using mysql that colum for each user, so let's say friend 1 adds friends 2 with the id of 25

so the query puts the id "25" into the friends column, then if friend 1 adds friend 5 with the id of 26 it puts "26" into the friends column and so on...

So it would have like commas in the colum, 25,26,30,31,31 and all those represent the id's of the person who is wanting to add people to his friends list!


If so how do I accomplish that, and then what If I want to use mysql to list all those id's and Code: [Select]
SELECT name,avatar,etc from userstable WHERE id = "25,26,3,31,31"
Is this even possible or am i thinking to harD?

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!

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. My issue is that I can't think of a way to edit a XML file using PHP's XML functionality and then assign the edited contents to a string instead of saving the file. Because my issue is that I have to edit the XML file based upon a string brought from a remote location then give it back to that remote location using a string again, to be exact I am doing it via Linux command line utilizing SSH2.

This is what I managed to complete on my own.


function CheckIVMPConfig($ServerID)
{
global $Panel;

if(is_numeric($ServerID) && $this->IsValidServer($ServerID))
{
// We select the game server that the FTP account was created for.
$Servers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_servers WHERE server_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($FTPAccount['ftp_server'])."'");
$Server = mysql_fetch_array($Servers);

// Here we select the Box ID that the game server is on.
$Boxs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_machines WHERE machine_id = '".$Server['server_machine']."'");
$Box = mysql_fetch_array($Boxs);

// Now we select the required package for the box.
$Packages = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_packages WHERE package_id = '".$Server['server_package']."'");
$Package = mysql_fetch_array($Packages);

// Retrive the file.
$Config = $CProtocol->exec("cat /home/{$Server['server_id']}/{$Package['package_config']}");

$Parse = SimpleXMLElement($Config);

foreach($Parse as $Entry) // loop through our books
{
if($Entry->port != $Server['server_port'])
{
// edit the value
}
else if($Entry->maxplayers > $Server['server_slots'])
{
// edit the value
}
}
}
}

 

I can t seem to get this. I need to extract some data from the following xml file. http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/seobpo.xml   I just want to get seobpo's tweet count. The data will be used in a wordpress blog.

Thank you
