PHP - Php - Detecting And Removing Japanese/chinese Characters In A Title String
I have a string of mixed Japanese or Chinese and Western characters and I would really like to leave the western characters and remove the others. Is there any way to detect which UTF-8 characters are Japanese/Chinese and to remove them?
I have tried to use this which I found on another thread but my version of PHP (5.3) will not allow the /u in the following Code: [Select] echo "<BR>".preg_replace('/[^\u4E00-\u9FFF]+/', '', $string); I have tried using various combinations of /p (these, plus others) Code: [Select] echo "<BR>".preg_replace('/\p{Bopomofo}+/u', '', $string); echo "<BR>".preg_replace('/\p{Hiragana}+/u', '', $string); and the /x{} option tells me the numbers are to large Code: [Select] echo "<BR>".preg_replace('/[^\x{4E00}-\x{9FFF}]+/', '', $string); My string for this example is this but any combination of western and Japanese/Chinese characters are possible in the title. 2011.12.06 19:00-20:00 / ふくいちライブカメラ (Live Fukushima Nuclear Plant Cam) | Uploaded: 06 Dec 2011 Thanks for any help. Similar TutorialsHello Everyone, I am working on a project I pull the field names from the database. I am trying to remove the underscore (_) when the field name is displayed. Does anyone know how I would do that? Here is the code that I am working with Code: [Select] $i = 0; while ($i < mysql_num_fields($fieldnamesquery_result)) { $meta = mysql_fetch_field($fieldnamesquery_result, $i); if (!$meta) { echo "No information available"; } $meta = str_replace("_", " ", $meta); $tablecolumn .= "<p>" . $meta->name . ":<input type='text' name='" . $meta->name . "' id='" . $meta->name . "' /></p>"; $i++; In <div id="chart_rt">%3$s</div> below, it is populated with a string that always begins with a number followed by a colon (from 1: to 25:). I see that ltrim removes characters from the beginning of a string but I don't see how to compensate for the extra character in 10: through 25: function wp_rss( $url, $num_items = -1 ) { if ( $rss = fetch_rss( $url ) ) { echo '<div id="charts">'; if ( $num_items !== -1 ) { $rss->items = array_slice( $rss->items, 0, $num_items ); } //start count $i = 1; foreach ( (array) $rss->items as $item ) { printf( '<div id="chart_lt">'.$i.'</div><div id="chart_rt">%3$s</div>', esc_url( $item['link'] ), esc_attr( strip_tags( $item['description'] ) ), htmlentities( $item['title'] ) ); //increment $i++; } echo '</div>'; } else { _e( 'An error has occurred, which probably means the feed is down. Try again later.' ); } } I'm trying to remove a dash at the end of a title, for the times when a dash appears there (which isn't always). Since my titles are always different lengths, I don't think substr will work. How can I code the following... If $title ends with '-', replace with '' Thanks! How can I remove certain string from a statement. For example: A blagh blah blah blah blah. http://blah.com Where I would want to remove everything from "http" and after. So the final statement would show as: A blagh blah blah blah blah. Hi, May I know how can I remove all characters after the first 3 characters after . e.g : 123.512645124 I want to maintain 123.512 without rounding up. Please advise and thanks. I wanted to use strstr and trim functions but I am not able to use it to get what I want.. can some guru please assist .. thanks again Last question for the week now. Almost finished. All I need to do is: Remove characters from the beginning and the end of a string. Essentially: Code: [Select] a:4:{s:4:"full";s:111:"http://www.mothernatureinc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/166637_482678026567_509616567_6394964_6868412_n.jpg";i:96;s:117:"http://www.mothernatureinc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/166637_482678026567_509616567_6394964_6868412_n-96x96.jpg";i:60;s:117:"http://www.mothernatureinc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/166637_482678026567_509616567_6394964_6868412_n-60x60.jpg";i:32;s:117:"http://www.mothernatureinc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/166637_482678026567_509616567_6394964_6868412_n-32x32.jpg";} Needs to become Code: [Select] http://www.mothernatureinc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/166637_482678026567_509616567_6394964_6868412_n.jpg Any ideas? There are good ways to keep only English characters in a string. But what is the easiest way to keep all alphabetic characters (whether in English or other languages like Russian, Japanese, etc) by removing all sign characters like !@#$%^&*()":;' ? I have the following function, which takes a string with commas in it and attempts remove those commas. The way I have it here is that I use explode to take out the commas, which makes an array, and then iterate through that array to put a string back together without the commas. function tags_to_sort_by( $sortMeta ) { $sortByArray = explode(",", $sortMeta); $sortByCount = count($sortByArray); for ($i = 0; $i < $sortByCount; $i++) { $sortByString += $sortByArray[$i]; } return $sortByString; } What does not work is the following line: $sortByString += $sortByArray[$i]; Somehow that outputs a 0, which I don't understand. It should output something like: arrayItem1 arrayItem2 array3 etc. My question is if there either is an easier way to remove the commas from the original string or what I am doing wrong in this line: $sortByString += $sortByArray[$i]; // I am trying to concatenate each part of the array back into the string. Thanks a lot for help with this! Hi all, In my string I have hidden characters that has a shape of square. When I print the string, it shows questions mark. When I opened it with notepad, it show a square shaped character. I want to remove this character in my strings. I have searched the web. Somebody says its carriage return but i think it is not. Could you please help me with this issue. Thanks alot. Hi all, I have an array of data. I am looping through this data to generate a CSV file. However, if there are commas in any of the elements then this will throw out the structure of the CSV file. My question is, how do I loop through the array before I use it to strip out any commas and replace with a space? Thanks for your help. Im trying to figure out, for my website, how to determine that page that a visitor is on so I can set the page title. I created an array (thinking that is what would be needed, not sure) Code: [Select] $pagetitle[0] = "Home"; $pagetitle[1] = "Links"; and so on for the different pages. My hope was to use an echo statement to create a title with a page name Code: [Select] <?php echo "$sitename - $pagetitle"; ?> Where my severe inexperience is getting me is how to code the php so that it knows what page it is on and then go through the array to get the appropriate page name. I may be doing this completely wrong from the start as far as method is concerned, so Im open to any ideas. What I want to do is simple: The string "this_is_an_example.php" should return "this_is_an_" while: "this_is_an_example_filename.php should return "this_is_an_example_" Is there a simple function which can cut off the part after the last _ ? I have been looking and trying several functions, but can't seem to find the right one for this. (the last _ being cut off of course wouldn't be a problem I couldn't live with :-) ) Any help will be greatly appreciated! Hello guys, I want to remove part of a string and convert it to a var instead of echoing it out.. How would I do it.. $string = "temp_photo/testing.jpg"; I want to remove temp_photo so the out put should be $filename2 = testing.jpg Please advise.. Thanks, Dan Hey all, I'm using the form 'method="get" action="results.php"' on my search form... Say someone uses my 'Photo search' to search my database for aircraft, and leaves all fields blank. In this case, the only field of the search is 'aircraft'. This will take the user to 'results.php?aircraft='. Is there anyway to remove the sting if there is no search value? So it would just read 'results.php'? This is the code i have so far: Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_GET['aircraft'])){ $aircraft = $_GET['aircraft']; } if($aircraft==""){ $aircraft = mysql_query("IGNORE aircraft"); } ?> Thanks in advanced! hi im having trouble removing ' from strings
so say
$name = "D'vion";
$newname = str_replace("'","",$name);
but this just returns the same.
thanks matt
Hey guys! I found a flush function and it seems to be working well, but sometimes it will cut off characters. It's very strange. Here's my flush function: function out($str) { echo $str."<br />\n"; vbflush(); } function vbflush() { if (ob_get_length()){ @ob_flush(); @flush(); @ob_end_flush(); } @ob_start(); }And I'm calling it like this:out('Waiting 30 seconds until execution');And this is my output: Code: [Select] Waiting 30 seconds until executioAnyone know why? %3$s displays a string of text that always begins with a number followed by a colon (from 1-25 only). 1: 2: 3: etc... Is there a way to remove the number and the colon entirely and leave the rest of the string intact? Code: [Select] function wp_rss( $url, $num_items = -1 ) { if ( $rss = fetch_rss( $url ) ) { if ( $num_items !== -1 ) { $rss->items = array_slice( $rss->items, 0, $num_items ); } //start count $i = 1; foreach ( (array) $rss->items as $item ) { printf( '<div title="%2$s"><strong>'.$i.'</strong></div><div>%3$s</div>', esc_url( $item['link'] ), esc_attr( strip_tags( $item['description'] ) ), htmlentities( $item['title'] ) ); //increment $i++; } Ashley |
