PHP - Splitting Arrays And Calculating

Hey guys,   I have an array of names sorted alphabetically. I'm trying to loop through them and create new arrays keyed by the letters of the alphabet containing the names which start with that letter.     so in the end i'm trying to create something like this:   $newarray = array( 'a' => array('anna','alan','andrew'),                                'b' => array('bert','ben','bob'),
                               'c' => array('cait','carry'),                                  etc,etc );   thanks        

Hi,

I am trying to split a string into an array and then seeing what sort of data it is.

eg;

I get the following string

Quote

api=somerandomkeyhere&user=someuser&password=somehashvaluehere&type=somethingelse


I need to be able to put this into an array so in this case

Code: [Select]
myarray[type]=somethingelse
myarray[api]=somerandomkeyhere
myarray[user]=someuser
myarray[password]=somehashvaluehere
but it could include many more/less different value's separated by the & symbol.

Thanks,

Hi

I have a function that takes a postcode and splits it so i can enter into DB into two formats, full postcode and prefix.

The function is:

function check_form_postcode($postcode)
{
    $postcode = strtoupper(str_replace(chr(32),'',$postcode));
    $suffix = substr($postcode,-3,3);
    $prefix = substr($postcode,0,(strlen($postcode)-3));
    if (preg_match('/(^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2}|^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1}[A-Z]{1})$/',$prefix)
    && preg_match('/^[0-9]{1}[ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$/',$suffix)) {
        $postcode_syntax_check = 1;
    } else {
        $postcode_syntax_check = 0;
    }

 if($postcode_syntax_check){
 $return = $prefix."::".$suffix;
 }

return($return);
}

I POST the form data and in the top of the same page I get all of the form data and here is is where things go wrong:

if ($b == 'go') {

    //Gets form data
    $main_event_name = my_import('main_event_name', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_type = my_import('main_event_type', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_date = my_import('main_event_date', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_city = my_import('main_event_city', 'P', 'TXT');
    $postcode = my_import('postcode', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_added = my_import('main_event_added', 'P', 'INT');
    $main_event_active = my_import('main_event_active', 'P', 'INT');

    $postcode_array = check_form_postcode($postcode);
    $postcode = explode($postcode_array, "::");
    $prefix = $postcode[0];
    $fullpostcode = $postcode[0]." ".$postcode[1];

        $valkey = md5(microtime());

        $info = array(

               "main_event_name"=> $main_event_name,
               "main_event_type" => $main_event_type,
               "main_event_date" => $main_event_date,
               "main_event_city" => $main_event_city,
               "main_event_active" => $main_event_active,
               "main_event_added" => $sys['now'],
               "main_event_pcode" => $fullpostcode,
               "main_event_pcode_prefix" => $prefix,
               "eo_id" => $eo['id']
            );
        $table  = $db['main_event'];

        $userid = my_insert($info, $table);

When I enter into the DB all I get is the "::" no data. I know that the POST works as I can enter the data easily without the function going wrong.

Thanks for any help, i am new to arrays go easy if I have made an obvious mistake!

Cheers...

When going to this URL, it gives entries between <entry> and </entry>, what I am trying to do, is collect the <user_id> ONLY if the <amount> is over a certain value. Any ideas to how I could do this (I am a complete PHP noob). All help is appreciated

Heya guys!
What's up?

OK here's my problem:
I got a variable, $var1, which is to have values like
"groan,100,200,350,50"

I need to know how to split this $var1 into $split1, $split2, $split3, $split4, $split5, where
$split1 = "groan";
$split2 = "100";
$split3 = "200";
$split4 = "350";
$split5 = "50";

Thanks in advance people!

P.S. In my case I am going to use some of the values for calculations. So I don't think that its easy with arrays, which are difficult for me to understand .
P.S.S. When I am retrieving data from the database, many variables like $var1 that need to be split are being extracted.
I hope that you understand.

Thanks and Regards,
Thauwa
