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 Hello 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>"; $i++; There are good ways to keep only English characters in a string. But what is the easiest way to keep all alphabetic characters (whether in English or other languages like Russian, Japanese, etc) by removing all sign characters like !@#$%^&*()":;' ? 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.' ); } } 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.

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. Hey guys, im using UNIX time and trying to figure out how to remove the leading 0 when it shows the hour. "07:06 am" to make it read "7:06 am" manual says i need to use %i with strftime. So I guess Im suppose to be removing the zero before the date format? which is why strftime isnt working after the date function. Or is there a way to do this in the date function. $time = 1327493219; date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); $user_offset = date('h:i a M/d', $time); echo "<td>". strftime("%l",$user_offset) ."</td>"; 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!

Hi I want this URL: php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php to become php.net using php .. I tried with the explode fuction but couldnt get it to work ... list ($finalurl, $blabla) = explode('/', $url); Anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance Hey guys. How do you remove a specific element from an array? Lets say I have a string like this: $list = "guy,girl,boy,man,woman,lady"; Then I use explode to break it up into an array by commas: $listArray = explode(",",$list); Now $listArray contains everything. Now if I wanted to delete something specific from that array, how would I do that? So for example, I want to delete "man" out of the array. How do I do that without know its key?
