PHP - Split A String - Or Can You?

My string is like this:

line 1
line 2
....
line 3453
line 3454
etc...

I want to split the string into chunks of 500 lines, do something with those chunks and then reassamble the main $string again. The last chunk doesn't need to be 500 lines it can be less.

How can I do it?

Hi! So what I'm trying to do is split a multi dimensional array of strings ( each containing 3 strings inside of 1 array ) so I can write the results to a file.

So say I had a bunch of strings inside 1 array : 

class File {
    function WriteFile ( $filename, $content ) {
        $list = [
            $content
        ];
        $delimiters = File :: checkDelimiter (
            $content, 
            true, 
            false
        );
        $fp = fopen (
            $filename, 'w'
        );
        foreach ( $list as $fields ) {
            $fields = File :: SplitFileByDelimiter (
                $fields, 
                ",", 
                3
            );
            file_put_contents (
                $filename, $fields
            );
        }
        fclose ( $fp );
    }
}

$file-> File :: WriteFile (
    $filepath . $filename, 
    "TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, " . 
    "TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, " . 
    "TEST!, TEST!, TEST!"
);
	

Instead of writing : 

TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, TEST! ,TEST!, TEST!, TEST!
	

to the file in a straight line, it should write it like this : 

TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, 
TEST!, TEST!, TEST!, 
TEST!, TEST!, TEST!
	

Any help is ABSOLUTELY appreciated!

How could I split a string in half but not in the middle of a word?


$information = "This is the string of text, however at some point in the sentence a word may get split in half.";
$cut = round(strlen($information)/2); ///where to cut (50%)
$split1 = substr($information, 0, $cut); //first half
$split2 = substr($information, $cut); // second half

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

What's the best string function to use if i want to split a string up affter a specific character?

In this case i have a var with "uploads/thisImage.jpg"    i want to split this so i can create a new var value of "thisImage.jpg"

How can I split this data and then remove it? I need to split data by ; then split each one of those.
$data = "page=1&data=1:21;2:34;5:57&a=yes";

So I will get:

$category[0] = 1;
$sub_category[0] = 21;
$category[1] = 2;
$sub_category[1] = 34;
$category[2] = 5;
$sub_category[2] = 57;

i have same problem like you, if i open a small file(3 to 5mb), open normal. But, when i try open a dbf file 13mb or more, cause php.exe error; i set Mem in php.ini to 256mb(before 8mb), but doens't work.
Someone have some solution, because i try find some way to clipper program input data on MySQL and dont have sucess too...

Hi all, hopefully just a quickie.

split is deprecated in 5.3, but i have the following to get working..

Code: [Select]
$dest = split(self::__MAIL_DELIMITOR__, $this->_mails);
delimitor is as follows:

Code: [Select]
const __MAIL_DELIMITOR__ = ',';and _mails is just a list of email addresses.

Can anyone suggest a workaround?

Thanks

i have a set of array's with a similer layout as  t127201103111200
what i need to do is split it like this    t:1:27:2011:03:11:1200    (where the : is where i want the split but not add the : ).
so i end up with this.
$a = t
$b = 1
$c = 27
$d = 2011
$e = 03
$f = 11
$g = 1200

what i think i need to do is
Code: [Select]
split(char1($a), char2($b), char3,4($c)...........................)
but have no idea where to start.

Thanks for any help

I'm pulling 10 records here. How do I split the results in to several echos?

$query = "SELECT statez, COUNT(statez)FROM mylist GROUP BY statez"; 
$results = mysql_query($query);
$returnS="";
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
$returnS.= $line['COUNT(statez)'].",,".$line['statez'].",,,";
}
echo $returnS;
mysql_close($link);
?>

I need the code to look like this by showing the (COUNT) number for each state.
$results = mysql_query($query);
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
echo $line["number_in_state1"].",,";
echo $line["number_in_state2"].",,";
echo $line["number_in_statee3"].",,";
echo $line["number_in_state4"].",,";
echo $line["number_in_state5"].",,";
echo $line["number_in_state6"].",,";
//etc....
}

How do i specify that i want the fgetcsv() to use a ; to separate instead of a ,
p.s.(i have no control over the .csv file so i cant change it from ; to ,)

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
}
}
}
}

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!
