PHP - File Get Contacts Between Strings

Hi!

What i can't figure out, is how to delete between 2 given strings in another file.

Explanation:
I have a file, it contains following:
Code: [Select]
### Start of content 0 ###
Some
Radom
Lines with text 1
### End of content 0 ###

### Start of content 1 ###
Some
Radom
Lines with text 2
### End of content 1 ###

### Start of content 2 ###
Some
Radom
Lines with text 3
### End of content 2 ###
And so on, now i need code, which can find line i give and delete between.

Something like this:

If, i give string:
Code: [Select]
### Start of content 0 ###

Then it will delete this line to the

Code: [Select]
### End of content 0 ###

Hope you can help!

All the best:
Mart L.

Hello

I am after some help with a concept to allow us to import some data into our database.

I have a PDF which I have OCR'd and now have a word document... I then manually clean up the document to remove spurious characters, that part is fine.

Now, the word document contains an unknown number of lines and an unknown number of records... and within those records an uknown number of fields...

Here is an example of a single record:


Mr G Aldred, 26/11/08, Canvardine Chance, Wolfies Dawn Tilley, KENINE SECRET DESTINY, d, c. Grey & White, KENINE SHADES OF THE NIGHT, d, c. Grey & White, KENINE SILENT WHISPER, b, c. Seal & White, KENINE SOFT KISSES, b, c. Grey & White, KENINE SPIRIT OF THE STORM, d, c. Seal & White KENINE STAR QUALITY, d, c. Seal & White

And I could have multiple records like this, but with different number of names toward the end

So, if I manually put some delimiting character instead of coma's , can I get PHP to read the WHOLE document in, split the document into records and then split those records into subfields to populate a form which I can then automatically submit to my database?

Not sure if that is clear....

Thanks

I am writing a google contact API to get users contacts, I get everything back except for the email address of the contact.

Anyone know how to get the contacts email address?

Code: [Select]
<?php
class gdata{
private $headers;
private $googleAuth = 'http://www.google.com/mate/feeds';
private $google = 'http://www.google.com/mate/feeds/contacts/default/full';
public $token;
public function headers(){
$this->headers['GData-Version'] = '3.0';
$this->headers['Authorization'] = "AuthSub token=\"$this->token\"";
$this->headers['Content-Type'] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
$this->headers['Host'] = "www.google.com";
$this->headers['User-Agent'] = "php/".phpversion();
$this->headers['Accept'] = "text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2";
$this->headers['Connection'] = "keep-alive";
}
public function request_contacts($email){
$ch = curl_init();
$headers = array();
foreach($this->headers as $k => $v){
$headers[] = "$k: $v";
}
$url = preg_replace("/\[email_address\]/", $email, $this->google);
echo $url;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->google);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$opt = curl_exec($ch);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($opt);
header("Content-type: text/plain");
foreach($xml->entry as $user){
//echo $user['link']
}
print_r($xml->entry[5]);
}
public function auth(){
$next =  'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?a=getContacts';
header("Location: https://www.google.com/accounts/AuthSubRequest?next=".urlencode($next)."&scope=".urlencode($this->googleAuth)."&session=1&secure=0");
}
}

$gAPI = new gdata();

if($_GET['a'] == 'getContacts'){
$gAPI->token = $_GET['token'];
$gAPI->headers();
$gAPI->request_contacts('untuned20@gmail.com');
}else{
$gAPI->auth();
}

?>

Good morning 

I am trying to add an "add to contacts" button to the user profile page that is viewed by other users but I seem to be struggling to wrap my head around this one. I can create the search user page that populates a list of users based on search criteria and link to their respective profiles using GET.

But now if I have a "add to contacts" button on their profile page, I am struggling with the code to insert this into a contacts table correctly. If the contacts table has a id column, user_id column and contacts_id column how do I insert the id of the user you are viewing into the contacts_id column?

I should have something along these lines....:

Code: [Select]
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id']))

$user_id = ($_POST['user_id']);

$sql_insert = "INSERT into `contacts` (`user_id`,`id`,`date`)
   
          VALUES ('".$_SESSION['user_id']."','$id',now())";

mysql_query($sql_insert,$link) or die("Insertion Failed:" . mysql_error());
$user_id = mysql_insert_id($link);

but that is not going to add the id as contact id for the profile being viewed.
Should this be done totally differently?

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Apologies if I have not explained properly.

Thank you

I need to write a code were users can login to his/her email account from my site to import contacts to be selected and used. I know you need to use api's for this. Has anyone done this before who can give me some useful tips?
