PHP - Str_replace Help

==================================================================
this mobile text message is brought to you by at&t

How can I get the red part removed?

I tried:

$endings = array('\n--\n==================================================================\nthis mobile text message is brought to you by at&t');
$CONTENT = str_replace($endings,"",$CONTENT);

i put it in an array because i'll have to add more things later

I sometimes have words thrown into my database with the following symbol: 
Code: [Select]
…
What I'm trying to achieve is this..
Anytime that symbol is found, replace it and all previous letters..  back to the first space encountered... with nothing. 

Make sense? 
If I had  the sentence Code: [Select]
"the lazy brown d..…, it should return for me "the lazy brown" 

If I was just replacing the weird code, it would be a simple str_replace, but not sure how to make the letters before the symbol (up to the first space) go away.

Ideas? 

How can I add str_replace(" ", "-") to the following line:

Code: [Select]
echo "<p>" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . "/" . strtolower(stripslashes($row['name'])) .".php</p>";
I have a bunch of provinces being displayed and want to replace spaces with - (for example British Columbia turns into www.domain.com/british-columbia.php so I can link to this file).

Here's my code, a simple replace

$newlink = str_replace("/http:\/\/images\.4chan\.org\/(.+)\/src\//", "thread/", "http://images.4chan.org/adv/src/1288558759794.png");
Print $newlink;

I want it to output "thread/1288558759794.png", but its just giving me the link I started with. Any ideas whats wrong?

I have a row in my sql I had to remove quotes from a href links to import it into my database because it was a csv file and delimiters were quote so I made a script to remove them. But I made a script to remove them:

$file = file_get_contents('ibf_forums.csv');
$file = str_replace('="','=^69^',$file);
$file = str_replace('\"','\^69^',$file);
$file = str_replace('"\ ','\^69^',$file);

Now I need to put them back in. So I need to replace ^69^ in a database. If I use UPDATE it will over write it all without replace just a part of it. An example if I don't make sense:

Code: [Select]
Thanks&#33; <img src=\^69^http://domain.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\^69^ style=\^69^vertical-align:middle\^69^ emoid=\^69^:P\^69^ border=\^69^0\^69^ alt=\^69^tongue.gif\^69^ />Into this:
Code: [Select]
Thanks&#33; <img src=\"http://domain.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":P\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" />

I am trying to make a presentation generator, using information from my database;
my str_replace is not working please help....
here is my code
Code: [Select]
<?php
$Sql = "SELECT * FROM csm_players WHERE uid = '{$this->Uid}'";
$Query = mysql_query($Sql);
$Style = $this->UserInfo['playerstyle'];
while ($p = mysql_fetch_assoc($Query)) {
$name = explode(" ",$p['name']);
$PlayerName = (strpbrk($Style, '{FIRSTNAME}') ? str_replace("{FIRSTNAME}",$name[0],$Style) : "");
$PlayerName1 = (strpbrk($Style, '{LASTTNAME}') ? str_replace("{LASTTNAME}",$name[1],$PlayerName) : "");
$PlayerName2 = (strpbrk($Style, '{NICKNAME}') ? str_replace("{NICKNAME}",$p['nickname'],$PlayerName1) : "");
if ($p['cl'] == 1) {
if ($this->UserInfo['clba'] == 1) {
$Show .= "<div>{$this->UserInfo['clstyle']} {$PlayerName}</div>";
} else {
$Show .= "<div>{$PlayerName} {$this->UserInfo['clstyle']}</div>";
}
} else {
$Show .= "<div>{$PlayerName}</div>";
}
}
//$Show .= "Error";
return $Show;

this is what its returning
Shelton "{NICKNAME}" {LASTNAME} [CL]
Lindsey "{NICKNAME}" {LASTNAME}
Eitan "{NICKNAME}" {LASTNAME}
Aake "{NICKNAME}" {LASTNAME}
Hunter "{NICKNAME}" {LASTNAME}

if i take out the firstname search then it find the nickname and if i take out the nickname and the first it shows the last one.... what do i do?
i have tried to put them in an array and do a foreach with keys and val but that doesnt work either im at a standstill.  it works for my other script but not for this...

Hi,
I have the following text:

Quote

London, May 1: Hi there


I am trying to remove everything till ':'

The desired output is
Quote

%20Hi%20there


I did this -

Quote

$np2 = "London, May 1: Hi there";
$i = array('-',' ','(.*):');
$j = array('','%20','');
$np = str_replace($i, $j, $np2);
echo $np;


I am unable to remove Quote

London, May 1:


Note: The word "London" could be anything, so I am trying to get a wildcard.

I am trying to change the data in a .xml document. I am pulling contact infomation from a database and adding it to my phone system's speed dial list. I got everything else to work except this...

My code looks like:

$fileurl = 'data2.xml';
$rc = (starts with 300 and adds 1 with every loop)
$misc = (11 digit phone number with no spaces (ex 14025551212))
$fullname = (first and last name of customer)
$search = $rc."</c1> \n  <c2 /> \n  <c3 />";
$data = $rc."</c1> \n  <c2>9".$misc."</c2> \n  <c3>".$fullname."</c3> ";
$file_contents = file_get_contents($fileurl);
$fh = fopen($fileurl, "w");
$file_contents = str_replace($search,$data,$file_contents);
fwrite($fh, $file_contents);
fclose($fh);

The Data in the data2.xml file looks like this:

- <item row="100">
  <c0>100</c0> 
  <c1>*300</c1> 
  <c2 /> 
  <c3 /> 
  </item>
- <item row="101">
  <c0>101</c0> 
  <c1>*301</c1> 
  <c2 /> 
  <c3 /> 
  </item>
...ect with rows going up to 999

And I need it changed to look like this:

- <item row="100">
  <c0>100</c0> 
  <c1>*300</c1> 
  <c2>14025551212</c2>
  <c3>John Smith</c3>
  </item>
- <item row="101">
  <c0>101</c0> 
  <c1>*301</c1> 
  <c2>14025552121</c2>
  <c3>Jane Smith</c3>
  </item>
...ect with rows going up to 999

I am looking at replacing what I searched for ($search) and change it to the data I get from my database ($data). It seems like when I search for <c2 /> it errors like there is something stopping it. The problem is the format of the data.xml file, but I can not change it. If I leave off the <c2 /> and <c3 /> the code works fine but looks like this:

- <item row="100">
  <c0>100</c0> 
  <c1>*300</c1> 
  <c2>14025551212</c2>
  <c3>John Smith</c3>
  <c2 /> 
  <c3 /> 
  </item>

I got to get rid of the <c2 /> and <c3 /> and replace it with my data. Also eventually I will have less contacts and need to revert the data back to the original format. I have tried everything I know and no success. Anyone got any ideas that would work?  I am thinking its something simple that I am overlooking.

Thanks!

Hello. I am pulling data from a mysql table and want to replace some strings that may appear in the data. Is it possible to use str_replace to replace more than one value at a time? For instance, replace '+' with 'plus'  AND '-' with 'minus'.

This doesn't work but something like this --

str_replace($search1, $replace1, $subject1,   $search2, $replace2, $subject2);

Thanks for all help!

What I want to do should be very simple, but I've stared at code all day and can't grasp it.

I want to replace the "&" character, if it exists, with the "&amp;" string.

What I have is:

Code: [Select]
$name = $RESULT['ACCOUNT_NAME'];
$cleaned = str_replace('&','&amp; ', $name);
echo $cleaned;
It doesn't crash or anything, but it doesn't work. I have several ampersand (&) characters in my output that aren't getting replaced.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello guys this is my first post.

Just a quick problem I've encountered, I'm trying to str_replace an array and string together and wondering how it can be done?

Code: [Select]
$text = "this is @value1 and this is @value2";

$array1 = array ( 0 => 'value1', 1 => 'value2'); // just an example

$at_replace = str_replace (" . @ " $array1, " . # " $array1, $text);

So im basically trying to replace all instances in $text where each word in $array1 starting with '@' will be replaced with a '#'.

Also will this be better done with a loop?

Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
