PHP - String Search In An Array

Hi, I am trying to search a string for a string of characters in this order ../ and carry out relevant if statements but it returns the same result every time. On echoing my $pos, $pos2, $pos3 and $pos4 variables the first two come back 0 and they are the strings that do contain ../ but the if statements perform the same? I don't understand, any ideas? Thanks...

Code: [Select]
<?php $logo = $info ['logo'];
$pos = strpos($logo, "../");//check if image contains ../
if ($pos == 0) {}
else {
$logo = substr($logo, 3);}

$image1 = $info ['image1'];
$pos1 = strpos($image1, "../");//check if image contains ../
if ($pos1 == 0) {}
else {
$image1 = substr($image1, 3);}

$image2 = $info ['image2'];
$pos2 = strpos($image2, "../");//check if image contains ../
if ($pos2 == 0) {}
else {
$image2 = substr($image2, 3);}

$image3 = $info ['image3'];
$pos3 = strpos($image3, "../"); //check if image contains ../
if ($pos3 == 0) {}
else {
$image3 = substr($image3, 3);}

?>

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!

Does/can php reconize quotations beyond the simple example I have below:



$quote = "\"";

if(strstr($test, $quote)){
 echo "quote found";
}



I'd like to detect any instance of a quote. Should I be including html such as &quot; and/or other html quote symbols? Or does the simple example I have above suffice?

Hello,

Okay for some reason i cannot do this, when i open a file in php and search for string, it doesn't seem to work, some codes i tried:

Code: [Select]
$filename = 'example.txt';
$searchfor = 'hello';
$fh = fopen($filename, 'r');
$olddata = fread($fh, filesize($filename));
if(strpos($olddata, $searchfor)) {
           //fount it
}
else {
          //can't find it
}
fclose($fh);
(above it just sample text, i was hoping you could give me sample code that will work)

I tried many others like strstr, stristr, preg_replace etc etc, doesn't seem to find it.. this is my text file:

Code: [Select]
sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf[b]hello[/b]sdvsdf
dfadfsdfsdfsddfsdf
sdfsdfsdfs
sdffffffffffffffffffffdv
vsvdsdsf

I don't want to find it by line, i want to simply open the text file and find the string..

thanks..

I am new to PHP and I am trying to write code which will perform a string search function based off of user specified directory + log file (ex: /home/log.txt) , and user specified string(s) to search for, the user can enter more than one string separated by '|'.

Is egrep the correct way to go in terms of taking input separated by '|'

Hi all, first time here as I am a bit stuck. I am by no means a programmer and I was hoping that someone out there may have a simple solution to my problem?... So here goes"

I have a voucher/offers site up-and-running. The site content is generated from an external feed. I want to create other sites and I want to track what sales/clicks have come from where.

An example of the feed: (http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=251&id=28971&clickref=[URL_REFERENCE]&p=http://www.247electrical.co.uk)

As you will see, I have [URL_REFERENCE] in each link. I want to automatically change that part of the string in the database. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hi there

 

I have started using php excell and getting most of it right. 

But i am struggling to search active sheet and return what cell the string is in. below is my code.

 

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);

another one i am struggling with is to see if file exists if not then do nothing if it does run the code.

Currently I am using a script that displays the entire directory.  However I am trying to use preg_match to try and figure out how to just link to one file from the directory via a search string from a form.   I am probably not even close so please bare with me

<?php

if (isset($_POST['filelook'])) {
$filez = $_POST['filelook'];
}
   /*
   edit $path to the directory you want to use
   edit $file_types to change the file types to show
   */
   function file_type($file)
   {
       $searchString = $filez;	
       $path_chunks = explode("/", $file);
       $thefile = $path_chunks[count($path_chunks) - 1];
       $dotpos = strrpos($thefile, ".");
       return strtolower(substr($thefile, $dotpos + 1));
   }
   $file_count = 0;
   $path = "./WinFiles/files";
   $file_types = array('png', 'jpg');
   $p = opendir($path);
       while (false !== ($filelook = readdir($p))) 
	   {
           $files[] = $filelook;
       }
   sort($files);
   echo "<b> Your file results:</b><br> ";
      
		   
           if (file_exists($filez) && is_readable($filez) && preg_match($filez)) {
		   
		echo '<a href="download.php?f='.$filez.'">'.$filez.'</a> <br/>';
			  
			   
			   //find filename like name searched for...

         
   if($file_count == 0)
   {
       echo "<b>No file match your file types</b>";
   }

     
    	   
           
			  
			   
			   
		   
		   }

Hello,

I am EXTREMELY new to PHP, and coding in general.  I have attempted to search for an answer to this already, but I'm not sure I'm using terminology that will lead me to an solution, as I haven't come up with much.  I'm hoping that someone can provide some assistance, or at least point me in the right direction for some reading. 

What I am trying to do it search a string for a match to any of 12 words.  I'm wondering if there is a smarter way to do this than coding 12 different lines, each one looking for a specific word.

If you can point me in the right direction, then thank you very much =)

I have a kind of search and react on my site. The user can search for a number in a column as below

$search = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST["query"]);

$query = "SELECT * FROM $table[$i] WHERE oemnr LIKE '".$search."%' ORDER BY model";

 

The code works fine but I want to expand the function to get match for other numbers also. The oemnr column today can be 12345 which shows up if the user type 12.... 

I want to expand the oemnr column as

12345/03124/34713, numbers separated with / or another character.

If the user type 03... or 34... I want to find and show 12345 because it is on the same row and corresponds to the numbers on the same row. Is it possible to do in mysql? In php that kind of operation can be done with the explode function but I don't know how to use with mysql.

I have some data in a table and some of it is Artist names stored as "Last, First"
I need to be able to have the script search weather or not someone types "last, first" or "first last".
Any ideas?

Hi all,

Im so stuck on this! Cant figure out a solution...

$precip_array[0] has a value of "80" in it as a string. I need to compare it to an integer.

echo (int)$precip_array[0] returns a "0".  Ive also tried adding a 0 but that results in the same.

I did a var_dump on $precip_array[0] which returns string(17) "80"

I think 17 signifies the length of the string, but I only see 2 digits when I echo this.  Any help is much appreciated.

Hi

I need to know how to arrange this thing looking something like an array to be able to find values from it. The problem is, I don't really even know what I am dealing with here. Wonder if you could help me out.

I have the following mess stored in a $messages variable:

{"messages":[{"message_id":2314446,"from":"441234568790","timestamp":1280703181,"text":"first text"},{"message_id":2315147,"from":"123456789014","timestamp":1280755014,"text":"another text"}],"unread":0}

and I don't know how to do the following:

I need is to get only the message text from any message that matches my wanted phone number. For example: I want to get the text value from message which from is 123456789014.

/Henry

OK so here is what I want to do. I have a bunch of strings stored in a table. The strings are like this grandparent.parent.child. some are just parent.child
What I want to do is Select all and then put them into an array.

soooo x.y.z would become $Var['x']['y']['z']
and a.b would become $Var['a']['b']

It has to be dynamic because some strings are just 2 levels, and it goes all the way up to 6 levels. I have different plans for setting the variably to something but I can handle that.

Any ideas?

I have an array I would like to search that is being built from a data base as follows

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id_one, id_two FROM accounts LIMIT 60");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {

    printf("ID_ONE: %s   ID_TWO: %s", $row[0], $row[1]);  
echo "<br>";
}



What I would like to do is after the array is created echo out a certain row from that array.
Soi if the array looks like this

key   id_one   id_two
1         458       444
2          468       455
3         467        466

I can search the array for 468 and it would return 455

Thanks  I will be posting back if I find any new information my self.
