PHP - Warning: Preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No Ending Delimiter '.' Found

I am working on taking out the Deprecated functions from my site so while replacing ereg with preg_match I get the below error. Per a message I found on the internet it says to replace ereg with preg_match and everything should work. Can anyone assist me with fixing this error?

Error: Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash

Part where error is contained

if (preg_match('enum.(.*).', $row['Type'], $match)) {
    $opts = explode(',', $match[1]);
    foreach ($opts as $item)
        $finalResult[] = substr($item, 1, strlen($item)-2);
}


Full Function

function getEnumOptions($table, $field) {
   global $db;
   
   $finalResult = array();

   if (strlen(trim($table)) < 1)
    return false;
   
   $query  = "show columns from " . $db['tickets_slave']->escapeSimple($table);
   $res =& $db['tickets']->query($query);
   if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
throw new TixException($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . ":", TixExceptionCodes::UNKNOWN_ERROR);
   } else {
try {
while ($res->fetchInto($row)) {
        if ($field != $row["Field"]) {
        
       } else {         
        //check if enum type
        if (preg_match('enum.(.*).', $row['Type'], $match)) {
            $opts = explode(',', $match[1]);
            foreach ($opts as $item)
                $finalResult[] = substr($item, 1, strlen($item)-2);
        }
       }
}
} catch (TixException $ex) {
throw new TixException($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . ":", TixExceptionCodes::UNKNOWN_ERROR);
}
   }
   return $finalResult;
}

so I use file_get_contents to get the contents of a webpage, one of the lines has


Code: [Select]
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.google.com/blahblahblah?s=5cd04d4a7632296b9cdb463d04e82c05" />
I want it to echo only http://www.google.com/blahblahblah so anything between <meta property="og:url" content=" and ?s=5cd04d4a7632296b9cdb463d04e82c05" /> I want to extract and put into a variable

this works just fine but I was thinking preg match would be better


$thread = explode('<meta property="og:url" content="', $psuc);
$thread = explode('?s=', $thread[1]);
echo $thread[0];


Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to crawl a website and get all the domain names listed on the site to output into my php script. 
I am using the following code.... 
The main area is the preg match area, since I know nothing about it, nor do I understand it a little bit!

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://link I am getting data from.com);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); //timeout after 30 seconds
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
// Search The Results From The Starting Site
if( $result )
{
// LOOKING FOR ANYTHING.COM  all .com's
preg_match_all( "(.*)\.com", $result, $output, PREG_SET_ORDER );
 
foreach( $output as $item )

{
// ALL LINKS DISPLAY HERE 
print_r($item);



}

}


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all

I am trying to do an email validation check. Here's my code:

if (!preg_match($email) == "^[a-z0-9]+([-_\.]?[a-z0-9])+@[a-z0-9]+([-_\.]?[a-z0-9])+\.[a-z]")
{
include("checkout-email-error.php");
exit;
}


It doesn't seem to allow any email addresses through? All help greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Pete

Hello, I am trying to replace a url and add a sub-id to it, however I'm not quite there. Any help is always appreciated here. In the end, I would like the value of gotoUrl to have the cpId 123abc45 attached to it. I.E.

http://example.com/?Aff=56732&SID=123abc45
http://example.com/?Aff=56732&uv=123abc45&product=1834234
http://example.com/?Aff=56732&cid=123abc45&ace=2gs244s3

$gotoUrl = "http://example.com/?Aff=56732&SID=";
// OR could be listed as such:
// $gotoUrl = "http://example.com/?Aff=56732&uv=default&product=1834234";
// $gotoUrl = "http://example.com/?Aff=56732&cid=&ace=2gs244s3";

// Will attach this to replace value
$cpId = "123abc45";
// Possible sid replacements, depending on the url
$sidList = array("sid","SID","cid","uv");

	if ($gotoUrl){
		foreach($sidList as $sidVar){
			if (preg_match("/$sidVar/i", $gotoUrl)){
			$gotoUrl = preg_replace("#{$sidVar}(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])$#", "{$sidVar}={$cpId}", $gotoUrl);
			}
		}
        echo $gotoUrl;
        }

hey, i was wondering how i would make a preg match check for special characters, i would only like to allow an underscore _ and a dash -
i'm currently using
preg_match("/[^0-9]+$/",$getUser) but thats not working right

How do I fix this For Each statement when used with preg match?

//Cat_ID  &  Category Name
preg_match_all('%<a[^href=]*href=\"\/cats\.asp\?cat_id=(.*?)\" title="(.*?)">%',$data,$matches1,PREG_SET_ORDER);  // works fine 
preg_match_all('%/60/(.*?).jpg"%s',$data,$matches2,PREG_SET_ORDER); // works fine
preg_match_all('%h3><p>(.*?)<\/p>%s',$data,$matches3,PREG_SET_ORDER); // works fine

foreach ($matches1 as $val) {        //need help here
$subcat_id=$val[0][1];
$subcat=$val[0][2];
$cat_image=$val[1][1];
$cat_desc=$val[2][1];



Thanks for your help!!!

Hi all

I'm quite a competent PHP coder but where it comes to preg_match I prefer to be ignorant, because I can't get my head around the patterns.

Basically, I'm working with a script that someone else has written, and I'm coming across problems because the URL that is being validated sometimes has curly brackets '( )' in it (these are image file names generated by an internal system). I have the pattern, how do I modify this to allow curly brackets? On some occasions, the urls have just the opening or just the closing, so its never the complete set.

if someone could give me an indication with this, because I'm clueless! Thanks in advance!

Ste

pattern:
Code: [Select]
$pattern = '/^(([\w]+:)?\/\/)?(([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+(:([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+)?@)?([\d\w][-\d\w]{0,253}[\d\w]\.)+[\w]{2,4}(:[\d]+)?(\/([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)*(\?(&amp;?([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})=?)*)?(#([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)?$/';

i have this small code but i will like to know add an echo that will say "No match found" if the search is not available in the database.

Code: [Select]
<?php

$term = $_POST['term'];
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT itemNumber, itemDesc, quantityHand, SUM(quantityHand) AS quantityHand FROM inventory where itemNumber like '%$term%' GROUP BY `itemNumber` ORDER BY `itemNumber`");
  
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
   echo "<b>";
echo "</td><td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>";
echo $row['itemNumber'];
echo "</td><td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>";
echo $row['itemDesc'];
//echo "</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">";
echo "</td><td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>";
echo $row['quantityHand'];
echo "</td></tr>";
    echo "</b>";

}

if (!$term)
 {
print "No match found";
}

Hi

i want to match $ symbol from the string. I am using the following script

Code: [Select]
$str="ckj";
if(preg_match("/^$/",$str))
{
echo "Dollar is found";
}
else
{
echo "Not Found";
}

Its not working fine. Can anyone help me out please.

This is my preg_match code: preg_match("/(\d+)|(T)|(A)/", $link, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, ($off-30) It works and matches the number I want, except it only returns the first character in the $matches array. For instance, if the number it finds is 10, it only returns 1. Now I understand that is what preg_match does, but how would I make that regex ungreedy? I tried adding a *, but it just made an error, and preg match all would keep searching for strings after the first one. All I want is for the first number, regardless of the length of it, to be returned in full. Thanks for any help.

I am using preg_match() to perform a url regular expression match for a video embed function. I have provided the third parameter of preg_match ($matches) therefore $matches[0] should contain the text that matched the full pattern, however I have noticed in the code example below, that the space after the query component of the specified url together with the first word after the space is captured and stored in $matches[0] as well.

$UserInput = "This is my video embed,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXHijTS9_2g check it out .";
preg_match('@http:\/\/(?:www.)?(\w*).com\/watch\?v=(\w*\W?\w*)@', $UserInput, $matches);

var_dump($matches) provides the output below:

array (size=4)
  0 => string 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXHijTS9_2g check' (length=48)
  1 => string '' (length=0)
  2 => string 'youtube' (length=7)
  3 => string 'GXHijTS9_2g check' (length=17)

What am I missing in the regex?   Thanks.
