PHP - Need Help With Parsing A File
It will be a txt file and I need to parse it and insert it into a mysql, I know there are many parser examples out there, but half I don't understand...... this is how the file is... I'll also attach it...
Code: [Select] [5/3/2011 12:37:14]: SuspectsKill: TeK_SiC Pwn^Guandi 9mm SMG I need to place the killer and the person who got killed, I don't really need the weapon if there not in the db I need to enter it..... and if they are I need it to add a kill on there name... this is just some of the log.. thanks for the help! Similar TutorialsHi all, I have a text file with few IP ranges in the following format: 1.52.0.0 - 1.55.255.255 What I hope I can do is to loop through the file content and retrieve the start IP / end IP (each in a variable) so that I can work on each of them. So for example for the line above I wish to get (1.52.0.0) in a var and (1.55.255.255) in another var while looping the file content So I was wondering if I can get any help on how to do this using PHP? Please excuse me if this seem to be very easy question but I am quite new to php, so any code help will be highly appreciate Thanks for your time Mark I know how to parse and print out contents of an XML file with SimpleXML but when I do it with this one I just get an empty string. XML file sample: Code: [Select] <?xml version="1.0"?> <?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?> <Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <DocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"> <Title>Periodens vara - maj</Title> <Company>Company1</Company> <Version>1.00</Version> </DocumentProperties> <OfficeDocumentSettings xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"> <AllowPNG/> </OfficeDocumentSettings> <ExcelWorkbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"> <WindowHeight>10005</WindowHeight> <WindowWidth>10005</WindowWidth> <WindowTopX>120</WindowTopX> <WindowTopY>135</WindowTopY> <ProtectStructure>False</ProtectStructure> <ProtectWindows>False</ProtectWindows> </ExcelWorkbook> <Styles> <Style ss:ID="Default" ss:Name="Normal"> <Alignment ss:Vertical="Bottom"/> <Font ss:FontName="Calibri" ss:Size="11" ss:Color="#000000"/> </Style> ....

Thanks Hi, As I am new to PHP and JSON my Interest in the field pushes me to know further. I have successfully parsed a JSON file: { "birthdays": [ "319507200" :"Kyle", "1390435200" :"Noah", "307843200" :"Carla" ] } Using this PHP file: <?php $jsondata = file_get_contents("birthdays.json"); $json = json_decode($jsondata,true); echo $json["birthdays"][0]['1390435200']; ?> Now I would like to know how to display when Noah’s birthday is, in the form yyyy/MM/dd. Can an expert tell me how this would be done? Thank you :-) hi php freaks, Is there a way to parse an include file through the php engine and then place the contents into a variable? Code: [Select] $x = include ($myfile); Here's what I need to do: I have a page that reads file and simply echos it. $mystring = file_get_contents($file); echo "$mystring"; There is one piece of info I need to parse out and then use as part of my page title. The phrase I need to parse is an HTML comment field and looks like this: <!--PageTitle=<some text here> --> I'm sure this is simple but I'm clueless as you can tell. How can I do this? DryAquaman Hi to all!! I am still new to php.. I need help in reading my text file and inserting it to mysql database. My text file contains 5 fields and has several rows.. The format of my text file: 1 romeo 8877 2010-07-07 abc1 2 nick 7686 2010-07-07 abc2 3 mark 5456 2010-07-07 abc3 4 karm 3432 2010-07-07 abc4 The first field is an INTEGER, the second third fifth fields are VARCHAR and the fourth field is a DATE. I am having trouble with my php code.. My code is this: <?php mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); mysql_select_db("personss"); $textFileName = $_POST['textFileName']; $myFile = "$textFileName"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r'); $theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile)); fclose($fh); $person = explode("\n", $theData); $count = 0; foreach($person as $i => $line) { $nameParts = explode(" ", $person[$count]); $q = "insert into logged (id, name, num, datess, letters) values ('" . implode("','",$nameParts) . "')"; $rw = mysql_query($q) or die("Problem with the query: $q<br>" . mysql_error()); } ?> This code can insert to the database but it only inserts the first row and it loops the insert according to how many rows there are in the text file..For example in my text file there are are 4 rows, it inserts the first row: 1 romeo 8877 2010-07-07 abc1 4times..If there are 6 rows, 6 times the first row will also be inserted.. What i need Sir's is that i need to be able to insert the rows line by line.. if there are 4 rows, i need to insert them all in the database.. Please help me to fix the code. Hello, I am a PHP newbie, and have been mostly playing around with PHP/MySQL in a CMS ares (i.e. building my own CMS). Now I am trying to expand my knowledge outside of the basic php commands, and a particular subject caught my attention. Getting page source code, parsing out bits from it, and displaying it. This is more of my personal goal to get it working, to learn more about some of PHP's abilities, and especially search parameter flag thingies D: http://nexrem.com/scripts/get_source/ That is my webpage i made real quick, as you can see it shows basic stuff. Code for it is: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Content Site</title> </head> <body> <p>This is intro text</p> <a href="http://google.com" title="Search Engine">Google Link</a><br /> <a href="http://yahoo.com" title="">Yahoo Page</a></br > <a href="http://http://www.phpfreaks.com" title="Awesome Site">PHP Freaks Help</a><br /> Bottom of file </body> </html> Now, I have a php file called get_link.php >> http://nexrem.com/scripts/get_source/get_links.php Code: [Select] <?php $url = 'http://nexrem.com/scripts/get_source/'; $needle = 'google'; $contents = file_get_contents($url); if(strpos($contents, $needle)!== false) { echo 'found'; } else { echo 'not found'; } // The \\2 is an example of backreferencing. This tells pcre that // it must match the second set of parentheses in the regular expression // itself, which would be the ([\w]+) in this case. The extra backslash is // required because the string is in double quotes. $html = $contents; echo $contents; preg_match_all("/(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)(.*?)(<\/\\2>)/", $html, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); foreach ($matches as $val) { echo "matched: " . $val[0] . "\n"; echo "part 1: " . $val[1] . "\n"; echo "part 2: " . $val[2] . "\n"; echo "part 3: " . $val[3] . "\n"; echo "part 4: " . $val[4] . "\n\n"; } ?> From what I understand, file_get_contents gets what the user sees? Or it gets the source code, and I just can't output it as such, cause my browser renders it? Question 1: Is it possible to get the html code of the page, rather than what the html renders it to be? How? Question 2: I can just Right click > view source and paste that result into a text file. I think I know how to search for a specific string, but how would I do it recursively, along the lines of: Search for text between <a href=" and " so I get the raw link Then add the results to an array. And then use foreach to output all the links from the array? Any help, hints are appreciated! Thank You! P.S. I quite frankly, got no idea what "/(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)(.*?)(<\/\\2>)/ is... Can someone refer me to a page where I can learn about those expressions? Hello, I need help. I have a file test.txt, and this content in it: Code: [Select] [group 1] immediate=yes links=1,14,12,22 avaliable=no [group 2] immediate=no links=1,4,14,22 Now, I also have a WEB app with database, where I can change both groups, and the only this missing is, that when a change is made in on group, that I write it to the file test.txt. I know how to write to files, but here is the problem (2 examples): If I change on the WEB page below group 1 from immediate=yes to immediate=no -> how can I change this in the file (just for group 1). If I change on the WEB page below group 2 to avaliable=yes -> how can I add this line in the file below group 2 To summarize - I have problems detecting where the group 1 or group 2 starts and end - so I only change for each group. I'm trying to utilize a PHP script to parse a large XML file (around 450 MB) to MYSQL database into certain structure and definitions of included XML elements. The problem is that the original script uses file_get_contents and SimpleXMLElement to get it done, but the corn job executed by the server halts due to the volume of the XML file. I'm no PHP expert, so I bought this XMLSplit software and divided the XML into 17 separated XML files each at size of 30 MB, parsed them one by one using the same script. However, the output database was missing a lot of input, and I have serious doubts whether this would be the same output of the original file if left not divided automatically and parsed one by one.
So, I've decided to use XMLReader with this exact PHP script to parse this big XML file, but so far I couldn't manage to simply replace the parsing code and keep other functionality intact.
I'm including the script below, I'd really appreciate if someone helps me to do so.
<?php set_time_limit(0); ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M'); include_once('../db.php'); include_once(DOC_ROOT.'/include/func.php'); mysql_query("TRUNCATE screenshots_list"); mysql_query("TRUNCATE pages"); mysql_query("TRUNCATE page_screenshots"); // This is the part I need help with to change into XMLReader instead of utilized function, to enable parsing of the large XML file correctly (while keeping rest of the script code as is if possible): $xmlstr = file_get_contents('t_info.xml'); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr); foreach ($xml->template as $item) { //print_r($item); $sql = sprintf("REPLACE INTO templates SET id = %d, state = %d, price = %d, exc_price = %d, inserted_date = '%s', update_date = '%s', downloads = %d, type_id = %d, type_name = '%s', is_flash = %d, is_adult = %d, width = '%s', author_id = %d, author_nick = '%s', package_id = %d, is_full_site = %d, is_real_size = %d, keywords = '%s', sources = '%s', description = '%s', software_required = '%s'", $item->id, $item->state, $item->price, $item->exc_price, $item->inserted_date, $item->update_date, $item->downloads, $item->template_type->type_id, $item->template_type->type_name, $item->is_flash, $item->is_adult, $item->width, $item->author->author_id, $item->author->author_nick, $item->package->package_id, $item->is_full_site, $item->is_real_size, $item->keywords, $item->sources, $item->description, $item->software_required); //echo '<br>'.$sql; mysql_query($sql); //print_r($item->screenshots_list->screenshot); foreach ($item->screenshots_list->screenshot as $scr) { $main = (!empty($scr->main_preview)) ? 1 : 0; $small = (!empty($scr->small_preview)) ? 1 : 0; insert_data($item->id, 'screenshots_list', 0, $scr->uri, $scr->filemtime, $main, $small); } foreach ($item->styles->style as $st) { insert_data($item->id, 'styles', $st->style_id, $st->style_name); } foreach ($item->categories->category as $cat) { insert_data($item->id, 'categories', $cat->category_id, $cat->category_name); } foreach ($item->sources_available_list->source as $so) { insert_data($item->id, 'sources_available_list', $so->source_id, ''); } foreach ($item->software_required_list->software as $soft) { insert_data($item->id, 'software_required_list', $soft->software_id, ''); } //print_r($item->pages->page); if (!empty($item->pages->page)) { foreach ($item->pages->page as $p) { mysql_query(sprintf("REPLACE INTO pages SET tpl_id = %d, name = '%s', id = NULL ", $item->id, $p->name)); $page_id = mysql_insert_id(); if (!empty($p->screenshots->scr)) { foreach ($p->screenshots->scr as $psc) { $href = (!empty($psc->href)) ?

Basically I'm reading a local xml file, extracting data, and passing array over to a MySql function. Also, when each record is extracted I need to know the full parent-child category it was listed under. for example: <root> <node value="first"/> <node value="second"/> <header label="Numbers"> <header label="Roman numerals"> <node value="I"/> <node value="XV"/> </header> <node value="1"/> <node value="10"/> </header> </root> Hello everyone! I have been trying to figure out how I can go about this, and failing. I have a text file that lists records simply: ex: 99. I got in my friends "car", what a piece of crap... ex:100. It only goes 25mph. I need to parse it so that it uses the number to store in the table, or just remove everything and store the text to the end, using an auto increment for the line number(some span more than one line). The numbers cannot be used as a key either. The number of spaces after the number and period also varies, from 1-4. The text also contains other special characters such as quotes, numbers, commas, periods. Anyone have any ideas? I'm trying to go through a document and replace all the UBB tags with different values. I can preg match the tags, but I don't quit remember how to do the replacement. Tags are like: ect. Anyone have a basic example I can go from? I know I've done it before, just can't think tonight. |
