PHP - How To Find Specific Characters In File

This is probably a simple one. I just couldn't find a tutorial to the specific thing I'm trying.

I have a string that looks like: "(abbreviated name with.) second abbrev. name."

I'm trying to find a way to break this apart so I can have:

$var1 = "abbreviated name with."
$var2 = "second abbrev. name."

I've looked at substr and a couple others and I'm not sure quite how to do this, because the ')' could be in a differing location.

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to this, not my full time job, but just something I thought I'd give a shot...

I have a database, in postgres, in which I make my query and I go fetch all the info I need.
What I need to do next is the tricky part for me.

For each line of results received, I have to output to a text file (.txt) but I have to respect a format that was given to me from the person requesting the info.

Example:
Character 1 must be G or N.
Character 2 to to 11 will be a result from my database search, which is a 10 digit string.
Character 12 to 14 must be spaces.

Another rule is:
start at character 78: input a value from my database search but it must not exceed 20 characters and if it is less then 20 character, fill the remaining with spaces.


If anyways has a code I can copy and work off of I would really appreciate it....thanks!

How can i find out parent (including) file of included file?
Lets imagine that we want to for example auto_prepend file to each file on our server that would write out the name of file  its being executed. I know, i can use PHP_SELF but what if i want to write name of file which is already included?

I have a web page and i want on it show its name even if it was included, but not the included page itself is showing name but auto_prepend file to each php file, its duty of this auto_prepend_file to write it out i dont want myself to echo it on each page? do you feel me?

I need to add these lines to my .htaccess file via PHP

Code: [Select]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} checkout
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://myurl.com/checkout/$1 [R,L]
RIGHT after this line:
Code: [Select]
RewriteBase /
AND before this line:
Code: [Select]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
This is how the current file looks w/o the new line addition:

Code: [Select]
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [L,QSA]
It needs to look like this when the new lines are added(extra line breaks not necessary):

Code: [Select]
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} checkout
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://myurl.com/checkout/$1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [L,QSA]
The line numbers may not match up, so I cannot use the line number.

Hey guys, total newb when it comes to php. any help here would be much apreciated,

what i am trying to achieve is to allow a person to upload a jpg image that he wants displayed on a dynamic flash site, but seeing as the flash is looking for xx.jpg, is it possible that any jpg file he uploads , say its called golf.jpg, is automatically uploaded/renamed to xx.jpg ? so i dont have to get him to rename the files before uploading.

i attempted to understand a short tutorial on doing this but failed, here is what code i used. ( i added that rename line, looking at it now sorta seems like a really lame attempt lol )

Code: [Select]
<?php 
 $target = "upload/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 
rename ("*.jpg", "xx.jpg");

 //This is our size condition 
 if ($uploaded_size > 350000) 
 { 
 echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //This is our limit file type condition 
 if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") 
 { 
 echo "No PHP files<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error 
 if ($ok==0) 
 { 
 Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; 
 } 
 
 //If everything is ok we try to upload it 
 else 
 { 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 { 
 echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; 
 } 
 else 
 { 
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
 } 
 } 
 ?>
 
<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
 Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
 <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
 </form>

cheers

Hi, Everyone!

I have an issue and I'm not even sure if it can be done with PHP, but even this info would help me (to stop looking for an answer).

I need to populate a (MySQL) database with stuff which is now written in a (HTML formatted) file. Here are my options:
1. Copy/paste each single field via PHPMyAdmin .
2. Write a little script to extract the necessary parts of text from these files to create a CSV-like content which I would then easily INSERT into the db.

Example
The files look like this:

Code: [Select]
<!-- SEPARATOR (same throughout the file(s) -->

<tr><td>

<div style="something"><img src="img/what_i_need_to_extract_1.png"></div>

</td><td>

<div style="something else"><b>What I need to extract 2</b></div>
<div style="something else">What I need to extract 3</div>

</td></tr>

<!-- SEPARATOR (same throughout the file(s) -->
etc ...
and it goes like... 100 times in each file in the same standard pattern with the "What I need to extract" parts being completely different each time.

Since it's possible to tell when each part required for extraction begins and ends, I would expect the script to look for these key-points (according to the example, it would be: img/ to  "></d then "><b> to </b>< and else"> to </div>) and return a result like this (acc. to the example): ('what_i_need_to_extract_1.png', 'What I need to extract 2', 'What I need to extract 3'), (and so on...).

Is it possible? Is there a function/option/way to look for a start/end-point like this and fetch the part between these two set points? If so - how? Any help would be appreciated, I'm not expecting a full code, obviously, just a point to the right direction or where to look at would be nice. Thanks in advance.

Is it pasible to find all occurrences of strings "North" and "North-East" in some txt file and save number of occurrences in some variables??

Say I have...

Code: [Select]
<?
echo("do something");
include("include_file.php");
echo("do something else");
?>

include_file.php
Code: [Select]
<?
$a_$string = "a string";
echo($a_string);
?>

I have put an error in the include_file.php  an extra $ in the variable name.

The first script would kick up an error that there is a problem with file   include_file.php  as line 3 or what ever the line may be.

How can I have it so I can choose what the error message is, say a cryptic code and the line number without having the file names show as this is showing up my hidden includes folder and the file name which means that someone may try to visit this page alone and this can cause security issues.

Adding in extra lines to every file to see if it is being use correctly a bit like sessions is not an option although I have looked at it as I have houndreds of files to alter in this case.


I have just tried this instead of the top script but I does not show the secret code on error
Code: [Select]
<?
echo("top");
@include("dummy.php") or die("secreterrorcode123");
echo("bottom");
?>

Ok, so I have an INI file...

OLD HTML=
NEW HTML=


I need to write the contents $oldhtml to "OLD HTML=" and the contents of $newhtml to "NEW HTML="

To store the contents of an ini file to a variable, I just used
Code: [Select]
$config = parse_ini_file("config.ini",1);
$email = $config['Email'];
$host = $config['Host'];
Cant I just write to the file by selecting ['Old HTML'] and ['NEW HTML'], in a fashion similar to the above code?

I am using a script found off the web to upload file and show a ajaxy waiting image.

In the code for the actual upload is this code

$destination_path = getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
$result = 0;
$target_path = $destination_path . basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']);

if(@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
$result = 1;
}

I am running it from domain.com/label/manage/add-file/upload.php and it uploads the file to domain.com/label/manage/add-file/

How can I upload the file to domain.com/files/123/432/

Do I need to modify the destination path? Also do i need to start it from /home/user/.........

Thanks

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
