PHP - Find Numeric Value In String?

I have another question related to string searches.
What I have is a string of couple thousand characters of all types but the date format is allways the same: dd-mth-year (two digits for day-three letters for month-four digits for year). Can I use the format alone to determine where the date is located which in turn would make it very easy to store that date into variables for inserting into database, etc.
Is there anyway to tell php the format to look for or do I have to have actual numbers/letters to perform the search?

How can I check this string to see if it has a ~ character using php?

Code: [Select]
$string = 'userlocation~credentials~specialties';

I have the following variable:

$text = "javascript:openimage('http://images.icecat.biz/img/norm/high/5966342-254.jpg',850,850)"

Now I want to put the string "http://images.icecat.biz/img/norm/high/5966342-254.jpg" into a variable called $url
( $url = "http://images.icecat.biz/img/norm/high/5966342-254.jpg" )

How do I do this?

if i want find included a word in the a range how can i do it?

example : Quote

array("problem is an obstacle, impediment, difficulty or challenge, or any situation that invites resolution; the resolution of which is recognized as a solutionquestion raised for inquiry, consideration, or solution proposition in mathematics or physics stating something to be done");



how can i find only start 20 charecter and my found word after 20 character by end

example :if my word be inquiry

i want find :...soluti

Quote

onquestion raised for inquiryconsideration, or solution proposition...

Hello,

I have a few strings that contain dates along with some other text.
The string looks like this:

Code: [Select]
Hi, could you please add these dates to the database?<br />
 <br />
<br />
2-September-2011<br />
6-September-2011<br />
7-September-2011<br />
8-September-2011<br />
9-September-2011<br />
 <br />
Thank you.

Dates are always the same format. Sometimes there's a single date, most times there are multiple.
Does anyone know how can I get the dates from this string to add them to my sql database?

Thank you!

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

Hi I have a MySql database and wondered if there is a code to search a table field with a given string and display the number of unique occurrences. The table is asterisk_cdr and would like to know how many calls received daily on a perticular channel.   Thanks shmideo  

Hello everyone,

I am trying to select and return any rows that have a specific string in it.
Let's say I have a column name "item_id" and in every row of that column I have values like so:

row A: (11,22,44,34)
row B: (12,56,78,98)

If the user picks the number '22', I use the following SQL line to get the row in which the number '22' is contained.

SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE City LIKE '%22%'
and row A gets returned, just like it is suppose to.

The problem is, if the user selects a single digit number like '2', both row A and row B gets returned because they both have values that contain the number '2' in it.
Instance, row A has the number '22' and row B has the number '12' so both rows get returned when the number '2' is requested. I don't want that, I only want the row that has the exact number '2' or '34' or whatever number I request, to be returned.

So to get around this problem, I am wrapping my numbers in letters like so:

row A: (a11a,a22a,a44a,a34a)
row B: (a12a,a56a,a78a,a98a,a2a)

and requesting it like so:

SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE City LIKE '%a22a%'
My question is: Is there a better way to work out this logic?

I wanted to replace a strings in a large text file .. what would be the fastest way ?!

e.g the text file contains ..

INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (1, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (2, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (3, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (4, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');
INSERT INTO `subjects` VALUES (5, 'some text here', 'some text here', 'some text here');

I wanted to replace the string " VALUES (1, " with  "VALUES (" in each line ..
I'm new in PHP so any response would be much appreciated .. thanks

Is there any way to disable the "A non-numeric value encountered" warning in the php.ini file? I don't get that warning on my Apache server but I do when I use the same code on my web host's server.  I never got the warning until I uploaded a two line  php.ini file to my web host so that I could keep my sessions longer than the default 24 minutes. This is the same online program related to my earlier post about too many inputs. I wanted to try sessions for a 24 hr. period but I'm getting  tons of errors for any field that is not used which can be in the hundreds. If I delete my php.ini file from my web host & just let things default to whatever they are using then I don't get those errors,  

Hi,

I have a page that lists the names of the Artists in one column, and the title of their song in the next column. I've included a sort section that allows users to view the artist (with the corresponding title) that starts with whatever letter they press. I've now come to a point where I need to add in a check for numbers.
(View attached image to understand what we're talking about)

So if the artist name starts with any number between 0-9, it will be shown in order on the page once a user clicks on "#". I've tried doing it various ways, but can't seem to get it just right.
Here is the code (I took out all my attempts to get the numeric sort working):

<?php
session_start();

include_once('inc/connect.php');


if (isset($_SESSION['username'])){
$loginstatus = "logout";
}
else{
$loginstatus = "login";
}
if(!isset($_SESSION['sort_counter']))
{$_SESSION['sort_counter'] = 1;}

if(($_SESSION['sort_counter']%2) == 0){ //test even value
  $sortcount = "DESC";
}else{ //odd value
  $sortcount = "";
}

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sheets ORDER BY artist");
$sheetscount = mysql_num_rows($result);
$sortletteris = $_GET['letter'];
$downloadclick = $_GET['downloadclick'];
$show = $_GET['show'];
$today = date("Y-m-d");

?>
