PHP - Preg_replace One Or More Sets Of Letters Between Brackets

For example.

I have the following:

Andrew (Age 19)

How would I get the content between the brackets, Age 19 using preg_match_all or a similar function?

Thanks very much

Code: [Select]
30|24|17,5|4|20,15|13|33,15|22|33,9|20|22
Let's say my output is that,

Realistically every 3numbers is 1 Ticket they are seperated by a "," (comma)

I want to wrap parenthesis around them so the output would look like this

Code: [Select]
(30|24|17) (5|4|20) (15|13|33) (15|22|33) (9|20|22)
Now would I have to use regex.. or not cuz regex is extremely difficult

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I have created a widget with php which allows users to put on their webpage and displays some information. To display the widget I am creating a javascript code for users to put on their websites.
The javascript has a source of php page like src="widget.php?id=123" When they put the code on their websites php file is executed and displays some texts which is read from a remote XML file. There is no problem up to this point. But while I am reading from this XML file, the texts which are displayed on users webpage, are not in good format becouse I am converting string texts to ISO_8859-9 charset with "iconc" function.

If the charset of webpage is ISO-8859-9 text are displayed correctly but if it is not, text are not displayed as expected.

In example if the webpage charset is set to UTF-8, characters become unreadable. If I know the charset of webpage I can then convert strings to that charset. But could not find a predifined function thats doing this.

Any idea about this problem ? or any other solutions you advice for this problem ?

Thank you...

i have an array with 5 numbers...

Code: [Select]
$numbers = array(1 => 4;
                              2 => 26;
                              3 => 15;
                              4 => 36
                              5 => 9);

For example:
4, 26, 15
4, 26, 36
4, 26, 9
and so on ...
Have ten possible combinations.
Any idea or advice of how i could do this...?

Hello community,

I am trying to create a login script, but in the HTTP Header it only sends the last cookie set.

I first tried this code:

$expire=time()+60*60*24;
setcookie("gcg_user",$userid,$expire);
setcookie("gcg_name",$username,$expire);
setcookie("gcg_pass",$password,$expire);

But it only set the gcg_pass cookie. Someone else suggested me to use header():

$expire=date(DATE_RFC822,time()+60*60*24);
header('Set-Cookie: gcg_user="'.$userid.'"; expires='.$expire.';');
header('Set-Cookie: gcg_name="'.$username.'"; expires='.$expire.';',false);
header('Set-Cookie: gcg_pass="'.$password.'"; expires='.$expire.';',false);

But again it only sets the last cookie.
The first code has been working fine on another server. Do I have to adjust anything in php.ini?

I have had a thread here recently titled: Special Language characters doesn't display correctly. Now however, I have encountered a new problem with character sets, that I hope you can help me resolve! I find the concept of character sets quite confusing. When you are dealing with a database and want the content to be displayed on a web page, you obviously want it to be displayed correctly, and if you are not from an English speaking country, this could cause you some problems here and there due to international characters. As I have understood, one need to tell how the data (text) is stores in the database, how it is being interpreted (collation) and how it is being displayed on the web page.   Here is my situation: One php page is displaying the content of a guestbook: show_content. This php file is divided into three parts: An include of a header.html file, a middle section displaying the content of the database and finally an include of a footer.html file to take care of the lower part of the page. Now, the header.html file does contain the script for a dropdown menu written in javascript:   header.html

<html>

<head>
  <title>Guestbook</title>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="da">
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

  <LINK REL=stylesheet TYPE="text/css" HREF="generel/pop_style.css">
  <LINK REL=stylesheet TYPE="text/css" HREF="generel/hoved.css">
</HEAD>

<BODY leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 background="generel/univback.gif">

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="generel/pop_core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="generel/pop_data.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="generel/pop_events.js"></script>

<!--etc .......

The main page controlling this header:   show_content.php

<?php

function handle_fatal_errors() {
	if (http_response_code() == 500) {echo 'A technical error ocurred.';}
}

register_shutdown_function('handle_fatal_errors');	
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

include("header.html");
include("settings.php");
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

//etc ...

The footer.html file doesn't really matter here, so I avoid it.   Now the strange thing: When I execute the show_content.php file above, the content of the database (guestbook) display perfectly, but the International letters in the dropdown menu don't display properly. BUT if I out-comment the following line:   

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

in the show-content.php file it is the opposite way around!! Then the items in the dropdown menu display properly while the content of the guestbook don't!   By the way: When I connect to the database to store items, I do it with the following code:

$db = new PDO('mysql:host='.$server.';dbname='.$database.';charset=utf8mb4', $username, $password);

If somebody have an idea for an explanation of this behavior, I will be happy to hear about it! To me all these character set issues seem rather overwhelming. Maybe one setting override the other or what?   NB! I also read that the people around the developement of PHP temporarily gave up on Unicode support for a PHP 6.0 version ...   Erik

Is making a double elimination tournament style bracket system capable of being done in php?

After dealing with numerous very well qualified programmers to only turn down the project due to difficulty or lack of a solution I am curious if anyone has figured this out.

I have run across a few sites that have some programs but all turn up to have some issues with the pairing of teams.

Please let me know! If you know the solution, we can work something out as far as payment. This is not a looking for work post, but merely a "can it be done" and if so and you are willing to share the info, it would be greatly helpful.

Hello all!
I cannot seem to figure out a way to pass an object from one page to another.  Now, my flow may be way off, and if it is, please do advise.
I want to have a form for username/password log in.
When the submit button is hit, it takes those values, finds the matching user in the database, and returns the user object.  We'll call him user_object
Now, I want to bring up another page, that allows user_object to enter in additional information (Event details).  After it does this, it writes those Event Objects into the database. 

My problem is: I need the ID Object attached to user_object while inserting the Event Objects into the database.
The user_object and Event Objects values are assigned from two separate forms and two separate submit buttons. 
How do I pass this information?

I don't want to use session because I have a lot of objects and do not want to serialize and unserialize all the time.  I also read that $_GET is a security risk. 

Thanks in advance for any help!

This is the basic logic of the code I am trying:
Code: [Select]
<html form whatevs post>
<php
object_one       
if (creds_match)
{
build_object from db
}
else "Wrong info, dude"
?></endhtml stuffs>
Code: [Select]
<html form whatevs post>
<php
object_two
if (post!empty)
{       
object_two = poststuff
}
assign object_two object_one's _id
insert object_two into db
?></endhtml stuff>
How do I keep the values assigned in section one, and send them or be able to use that same variable in section 2?

i.e. instead of "product[]" have "product" in the <input name="<NAME>">

Thanks in advance

Hi There,

I'm trying to get the following array to work as a separate include php file to make the HTML easier to follow. Within the HTML it has been working fine, as the "echo $tdata_consent Variable is within the main curly brackets. As soon as I move the variable outside of the brackets I only get 1 item from the array rather than all of the items. 

 $projects_const = array();    
    $required_const = ['Consent'];
    $colors_const =   array_combine($required_const, ['bg-danger text-white font-weight-bold'] );

    $xml_const=simplexml_load_string($jobs_task_response) or die("Error: Cannot create object");
     
    foreach($xml_const->Jobs->Job as $item_const) {
        if (in_array((string)$item_const->State, $required_const)) {     
            $projects_const[] = array(
                'job_no'          => (string)$item_const->ID,
                'job_name'        => (string)$item_const->Name,
                'job_start'       => date('d/m/Y', strtotime($item_const->StartDate)),
                'job_due'         => date('d/m/Y', strtotime($item_const->DueDate)),
                'job_status'      => (string)$item_const->State,
                'job_staff'       => (string)$item_const->Assigned->Staff->Name,
            );
        }
    } 
    
    usort($projects_const, function($a,$b) {return $b['job_due'] <=> $a['job_due']; } );  
 
    foreach ($projects_const as $proj_const) {
        $job_no =$proj_const['job_no'];
        $job_name =$proj_const['job_name'];
        $job_status =$proj_const['job_status'];
        $job_staff =$proj_const['job_staff'];
        $job_due =$proj_const['job_due'];
        $clr_1 = $colors_const[$job_status];
        
        $tdata_const = '';
                        
        $tdata_const .= "<div class='row no-gutters'>";
        $tdata_const .= "<div class='col-sm bg-white border rounded'><a href='managejob.php?job_id=$job_no' class='text-left ml-1'><strong>$job_no</strong></a></div>";
        $tdata_const .= "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'><p class='text-left ml-1'>$job_name</p></div>"; 
        $tdata_const .= "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'>" . state_dropdown_1($job_no, $job_status, $clr_1) . "</div>";
        $tdata_const .= "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'><p class='text-left ml-1'>$job_status</p></div>"; 
        $tdata_const .= "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'><p class='text-left ml-1'>$job_staff</p></div>";    
    
    } 
    echo $tdata_const;

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Ill spare you the full code because I don't think you'll need it to answer this, but I have code where an array called $days1 is being created.  It's working fine as is to bring back 1 set of data, but I want to keep adding to the array for however many sets of data there are in the "while" statement.

So my question is how do I write this so that ALL sets of data brought back by MySQL (whether it's 1 row or 50) keep getting added to the array, rather than just having one set of info in my array?

I feel like I need to put "$days1 = array(" before the WHILE statement and then put the closing ")" after all the loops are done, but that didn't work.

Can anyone help me out here? (assuming it makes sense )...

Code: [Select]
while ($hunches = mysql_fetch_array($gethunches)) {
$days1 = array(
$hunches['day']=>array(NULL,NULL,'<span class="red">' . $hunches['firstname'] . " " . $hunches['lastname'] . "-" . $hunches['dob'] . "--" . $hunches['sex'] . '</span>'),
);
}
