PHP - Extract String From Webpage

I have  string like this (without the spaces)

[ QUOTE="Adrock"]This is a test message[/QUOTE ]

How do i get just what is between the double quotes taking into account in the message there could be double quotes?

I've tried this but it doesn't echo anything unless i put the square brackets in but i want the username

$origauth = html_entity_decode($message);

$b = substr($origauth, strpos($origauth, '&#034') + 1); 

$c = substr($b, 0, strpos($b, '&#034')); 

echo $c;

Hello,

Anyone know a way I could extract information from YouTube. If I have the URL for the video, how could I get the title, runtime, tags and so on into different strings?

    url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMAI26FPeyM";


Thanks

Can anyone help me output "Zinfandel|Sauvignon Blanc" from "This very nice wine is produced in California and is made from Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc grapes."? Please also notice the case insensitivity. I prefer the output with capitals on first words.    I created the following code :

<?php 
$ds = "Riesling|Sauvignon Blanc|Zinfandel|Muscat/i";
$string = "This very nice wine is produced in California and is made from zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc grapes.";

echo "This is the string to extract the grapes from : ";
echo $string;
echo "<br>";

echo "These are the grapes that need to be matched in a regular expression : ";
echo $ds;
echo "<br>";

$matches = array();
$search = preg_match_all($ds, $string, $matches);

foreach ($matches[1] as $match) {
    echo $match;
	// I want this to output "Zinfandel|Sauvignon Blanc" with a pipeline between the matches
}
?>

Any help pretty much appreaciated!

Hi All,

I'm new at php and I need your help.

I'm trying to find a string in a website. I want my website to get a string on another website(I have full access) without really opening it on a browser. For example the string is "MyID=123456", i want to find "MyID=123456"(the MyID number is random and always changing but always 6 random numbers) on another website and output only "123456" on my website. Is this possible?

Please help. Thanks

This topic has been moved to Third Party PHP Scripts.

So I have been working on my website for a while which all is php&mysql based, now working on the social networking part building in similar functions like Facebook has. I encountered a difficulty with getting information back from a link. I've checked several sources how it is possible, with title 'Facebook Like URL data Extract Using jQuery PHP and Ajax' was the most popular answer, I get the scripts but all of these scripts work with html links only. My site all with php extensions and copy&paste my site links into these demos do not return anything . I checked the code and all of them using file_get_contents(), parsing through the html file so if i pass 'filename.php' it returns nothing supposing that php has not processed yet and the function gets the content of the php script with no data of course. So my question is that how it is possible to extract data from a link with php extension (on Facebook it works) or how to get php file executed for file_get_contents() to get back the html? here is the link with code&demo iamusing: http://www.sanwebe.c...-php-and-jquery thanks in advance.

try {
echo "<br>";
foreach($dbh->query("SELECT * FROM test_shot WHERE sold=1 ORDER BY year ASC") as $row) {
	
						if($row['picture'] != "" && $row['picture'] != null)
						{
						echo "<div class='image-holder'><img src ='".$row['picture']."' width=300px /><br>";  
            			}
						if($row['year'] != "" && $row['year'] != null)
						{
							echo $row['year'];
						}
						if($row['description'] != "" && $row['description'] != null)
						{
							echo $row['description'];
						}
						if($row['sold'] == 1) {
							echo "<img src='images/sold1.png'><br>";//Add your image code here
							}
							elseif ($row['sold'] == 0) {
							
							echo "</div><br>";

  print $e->getMessage();

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

So I make a colum in my table called "friends"

Is there a way to update using mysql that colum for each user, so let's say friend 1 adds friends 2 with the id of 25

so the query puts the id "25" into the friends column, then if friend 1 adds friend 5 with the id of 26 it puts "26" into the friends column and so on...

So it would have like commas in the colum, 25,26,30,31,31 and all those represent the id's of the person who is wanting to add people to his friends list!


If so how do I accomplish that, and then what If I want to use mysql to list all those id's and Code: [Select]
SELECT name,avatar,etc from userstable WHERE id = "25,26,3,31,31"
Is this even possible or am i thinking to harD?

or need to extract all h1 tags and insert into database
You can modify this code to make it work?
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function getTextBetweenTags($tag, $get, $strict=0)
{
/*** a new dom object ***/
$dom = new domDocument;

/*** load the html into the object ***/
if($strict==1)
{
$dom->loadXML($get);
}
else
{
$dom->loadHTML($get);
}

/*** discard white space ***/
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;

/*** the tag by its tag name ***/
$content = $dom->getElementsByTagname($tag);

/*** the array to return ***/
$out = array();
foreach ($content as $item)
{
/*** add node value to the out array ***/
$out[] = $item->nodeValue;
}
/*** return the results ***/
return $out;
}
$content = getTextBetweenTags('h1', $get);

foreach( $content as $item )
{
$h1 = $item.'<br />';
}

$query="UPDATE sitis SET

//My  problem and that puts only a h1

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.
