PHP - Array To String But Hard Return Between Words

This topic has been moved to PHP Regex.

Hello all,

I'm trying to change the end of a javascript call based on the end of the url string. The common part of all the url strings is sobi2Id=, I'm trying to do this with strstr but am having no luck. I'm new to php so my syntax knowledge is terrible!

at the moment i've got

Code: [Select]
<?php

       $url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

     $tag = strstr ($url, 'sobi2Id=');

       echo $tag; 
?>
but this returns an unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

Can anyone debug this? I may well be being really silly!

Hello again to all

I can't seem to find a decent code function to search for "curse" words that i would deem inappropriate in an array. Count the number of instances the function finds a curse word and then if the number is greater than one halt the script.

something like the following but not really....
Code: [Select]
$words = array('ass','fuck','shit');
$string = 'Blah blah blah ass blah blah fuck blah blah shit!';
//code to count the instances of the curse words(3)
if($instances > 0)
{
echo "no cursing please.";
} ;
any help on how to do this would be much appreciated!

hi folks, i have a variable in which some common words are stored and another variable in which a sentence is stored. I want to remove the common words from the sentence> Is there any way of doing this in PHP?
Code: [Select]
<?php
$common_words = "to, this, all, the, from";
$sentence = "I want to remove all the common words from this sentence";
?>the final output should be:
"I remove common words sentence."

Hi, how can I match two keywords in a string? eg.

Thanks.

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 string in the form of "word1-word2-word3-word4-word5-word-6-word7", but I want to shorten it to 5 words only. 

Hello everyone,

Pretty much what I am trying to do is run a query and based of the queries result, return a string - as of now it is turning up blank and cant seem to pass any strings through the function.

Current function:

function addNewBookmark($hash,$url,$title,$username){
     
      Code: [Select]
$query = "INSERT INTO bookmarks (hash,url,title,username) VALUES '".md5($hash)."', '".$url."', '".$title."', '".$username."')";
      $result = mysql_query(query, $this->connection);
      $message = '';
      if(mysql_affected_rows($this->connection)!=1) {

        $message = 'This URL already exists in the database!';
                return $message;
        }
        else
        $message = 'The URL was shared!';
        return $message;
       
           }
The above code seems to run fine, just cant seem to pass a string...read that you can possibly use a __toString function?  but that keeps throwing errors when I try to work with it.

Thanks all!

I have the following code and it always says it's a string! How do I make it see it as a json object?

Code: [Select]
<?php
    //We'll return a json object from post request
    if ( !empty( $_POST ) )
    {
        $arr = array ('status'=>1,'message'=>'Some message');
        
        echo json_encode($arr);
    }
    else
    {
        ?>
        <input type="button" value="submit" id="submit" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery-1.4.2.js"></script>
        <script>
            var submit = document.getElementById( "submit" );
           
            submit.onclick = function()
            {
                $.post( "test.php",
                    function(data)
                    {
                        /*
                         * This always prints as:
                         *    {"status":1,"message":"Some message"}
                         *    string
                         *    Code: undefined
                         *    Message: undefined
                         */
                        alert( data + "\n" + typeof( data ) + "\nCode: " + data.status + "\nMessage: " + data.message );
                    }
                );
            }
        </script>
        <?
    }
?>
What do I do to make it a json object?

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);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_time_limit(0);



$directory = "/var/www/html/csvex/xls/";
$formatdirectory = "/var/www/html/csvex/toformat/";
$finishedformatdirectory = "/var/www/html/csvex/formatted/";
$savanadirectory = "/var/www/html/iretire/files/upload/1/";
$main = "/var/www/html/csvex/";


$files = scandir($directory, SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING);

$newest_file = $files[0];
echo $newest_file;
echo "<br>";
$oldfile = $directory.$newest_file;
$newfile = $formatdirectory.$newest_file;
$changedfile = $finishedformatdirectory.$newest_file;
$crmfile = $savanadirectory.$newest_file;
echo $oldfile;
echo "<br>";
echo $newfile;

echo "<br>";
if( !rename($oldfile, $newfile) ) {  
    echo "File can't be moved!";  
}  
else {  
    echo "File has been moved!";  
} 
//format the file


date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . './Classes/');

include 'PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';

$fileType = 'Excel5';
$fileName = $newfile;

// Read the file
$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($fileType);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($fileName);
//change font
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('a1:a6')->applyFromArray(

        foreach ($cellIterator as $cell) {
            if ($cell->getValue() == $searchValue) {
                $foundInCells[] = $ws . '!' . $cell->getCoordinate();
            }
        }
    }
}

echo "<br>";
echo "this is where - - ";
var_dump($foundInCells);
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
//
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('a20')->applyFromArray(
$styleArray = array(
'font' => array(
'bold' => true
)
)
);

its located at //Get inactive members.

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

<?php

$title = "This is an example of a sentence in a paragraph";
$title_array = explode(" ", $title);

$count = strlen($title_array[0]);
?>
what i want to do is store the count for every characters of every word in the array using a loop
e.g the count will be stored in a variable $chr_count then when i access the count for "This" it should be like this $chr_count[0]=4, $char_count[1]=2 etc.

hi every1
im driveing crazy with this... i have a database with a field with descriptions of products named "DESCRIP" in the main page i have a text field where user write the words to search for i wanrt make an
       "SELECT * FROM models where descrip like xxx OR descrip like xxx... bla bla bla"

i wrote this code but send me an error... waht can be wrong???

$word='"SELECT * FROM models WHERE descrip LIKE ' ."'";
$srched=$_POST['words'];
$pieces = explode(" ", $srched);
$all=count($pieces)-1;

for($i=0;$i<=$all;$i ++) {
     $word = $pieces[$i] ."'";
    if($i!=$all) {
       $word .= $word . ' OR descrip like ' . "'";
    } else {
      $word .= $word .'"' . ";";
    }
}

$colname=$word;
mysql_select_db($database_zero1, $zero1);
$query_srch = $colname;
$buscar = mysql_query($query_srch, $zero1) or die(mysql_error());
$row_srch = mysql_fetch_assoc($srch);
$totalRows_srch = mysql_num_rows($srch);

tnx in advcd

Say I have this array:

Code: [Select]
array(
0 => time
1 => time
2 => to
3 => to
4 => to
5 => fly
);
and 2 variables - $occMin and $occMax as number of occurrences.

If:

Code: [Select]
$occMin = 2;
$occMax = 3;

I want to produce sorted list with most occurrences at the top:

Code: [Select]
array(
0 => array('to', 3),
1 => array('time', 2)
);
My face just melted at the thought of even beginning to tackle this. Is this somewhat possible? would it require a monster function or am I missing some native php functions which could lend a hand?

Hi everyone

for my end of studies projects I decided to do a little e-commerce problem on the filter .. I use an ajax request at the click of the checkbox this goes to my controller which calls a method of my Model class but the concern is that .. if the array $ _POST ['brands'] has several elements then only the last one is returned to me? I thought I saw one day that if the same variable is in a url then the last value will be returned to me is for security but how can I do ... I have been there for too long .. and finally despair. . Help me please... :')

request payload:

brands%5B%5D=arai&brands%5B%5D=bell

reply :

<- prepare var_dump ()
object (PDOStatement) # 2 (1) {["queryString"] => string (73) "SELECT mark FROM articles WHERE categorie_article =? AND mark IN (?,?)"}

string (4) "arai" <- bind
string (4) "bell" <- bind

var_dump () of my fetchAll ()
array (2) {[0] => array (2) {["brand"] => string (4) "bell" [0] => string (4) "bell"} [1] => array (2 ) {["brand"] => string (4) "bell" [0] => string (4) "bell"}}
image_icon

since the last value taken into account is bell then I get two items of the bell brand from my bdd but no arai ...
