PHP - Prevent Arrays With Preg_match() Function

Hi

I have a function that takes a postcode and splits it so i can enter into DB into two formats, full postcode and prefix.

The function is:

function check_form_postcode($postcode)
{
    $postcode = strtoupper(str_replace(chr(32),'',$postcode));
    $suffix = substr($postcode,-3,3);
    $prefix = substr($postcode,0,(strlen($postcode)-3));
    if (preg_match('/(^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2}|^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1}[A-Z]{1})$/',$prefix)
    && preg_match('/^[0-9]{1}[ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$/',$suffix)) {
        $postcode_syntax_check = 1;
    } else {
        $postcode_syntax_check = 0;
    }

 if($postcode_syntax_check){
 $return = $prefix."::".$suffix;
 }

return($return);
}

I POST the form data and in the top of the same page I get all of the form data and here is is where things go wrong:

if ($b == 'go') {

    //Gets form data
    $main_event_name = my_import('main_event_name', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_type = my_import('main_event_type', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_date = my_import('main_event_date', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_city = my_import('main_event_city', 'P', 'TXT');
    $postcode = my_import('postcode', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_added = my_import('main_event_added', 'P', 'INT');
    $main_event_active = my_import('main_event_active', 'P', 'INT');

    $postcode_array = check_form_postcode($postcode);
    $postcode = explode($postcode_array, "::");
    $prefix = $postcode[0];
    $fullpostcode = $postcode[0]." ".$postcode[1];

        $valkey = md5(microtime());

        $info = array(

               "main_event_name"=> $main_event_name,
               "main_event_type" => $main_event_type,
               "main_event_date" => $main_event_date,
               "main_event_city" => $main_event_city,
               "main_event_active" => $main_event_active,
               "main_event_added" => $sys['now'],
               "main_event_pcode" => $fullpostcode,
               "main_event_pcode_prefix" => $prefix,
               "eo_id" => $eo['id']
            );
        $table  = $db['main_event'];

        $userid = my_insert($info, $table);

When I enter into the DB all I get is the "::" no data. I know that the POST works as I can enter the data easily without the function going wrong.

Thanks for any help, i am new to arrays go easy if I have made an obvious mistake!

Cheers...

Okay I have a function that stores data into an Array.  The function takes about 7 seconds to run and through a number of different loops it creates one final array with about 15,000 keys.  I want to recall this data a number of times in different functions, however how can I have this data easily accessible without running the function each time.

EX:
Code: [Select]
function theFunction()
{
   for($x=0;$x,=15000;$x++)
   {
   //Run the loop and store data.
   $string[$x] = //output from other loops and calculations
   }
   return $string
}

//Then later on if I want to recall the data the only way I know how is to do the follow:
$newstring = theFunction()

The only problem I have with this is that it has to re-run the function every time in order to get to the data it spits out.  How can I store this data into another array outside of the function without having to re-run it?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

I'm having troubling with trying to create a function to spit out a single array with the following array. I can write it in a away that looks through the arrays manually. 

the results i am trying to generate is that each item in generated array.

Array to convert

array(
    "account" => array(
        "login",
        "register",
        "logout",
        "edit",
    ),
    "p" => array( 
        "report",
    ),
    "array1.0" => array( 
        "array2.0" => array(
            "array3.0",
            "array3.1
        ),
        "array2.1",
    ),

generating the array will look like this

 

Array ( 
[0] => account 
[1] => account/login 
[2] => account/register 
[3] => account/logout 
[4] => account/edit 
[5] => p 
[6] => p/report 
[7] => array1.0 
[8] => array1.0/array2.0
[9] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.0
[10] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.1
[11] => array1.0/array2.1

)

The idea is that id generates a single array with combined labels and arrays inside, etc. I just can't figure out how to create a script that will create this array even If I add a new value or array. 

 

I have this thing that i am trying to make but i cant get it to work.. can anyone help?

Code: [Select]
function sql_read( $dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword )
{
$names = array();
$password = array();


$connect = @mysql_connect("mysql11.000webhost.com",$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die("Could Not Connect");
@mysql_select_db ($dbname) or die("Could not find DataBase");


$query = mysql_query("select * from users");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);

if ($numrows > 0){

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){

$names[] = $row["uname"];
$password[] = $row["password"];
$id = $row["id"];

}
$return = array($names,$password,$id);

}else{
$return = array();
}


return $return[];
}



$names = array();

$names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0];


The error i get is
Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/a5480952/public_html/sql/index.php on line 28
Line 28 is "$names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0];"

Please help... i REALLLLD need help with this.. ask questions if you want to know more about what i am trying to do... thanks!

I have two arrays, both with the same key values. I'd like to combine them. So for instance...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$array1['abcd'] = array( 'value1' => "blah", 'value2' => "blahblah");
$array1['efgh'] = array( 'value1' => "ha", 'value2' => "haha", 'valuex' => "xyz");

$array2['abcd'] = array('value3' => "three", 'value4' => "four");
$array2['efgh'] = array( 'value3' => "hohoho", 'value6' => "six6");

function combine_arrays($array1,$array2)
{

//*combining*
return $single_array;
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r(combine_arrays($array1,$array2));
echo "</pre>";

/*
would produce 

['abcd'] = ( 'value1'  => "blah",
                 'value2'  => "blahblah",
                 'value3'  => "three",
                 'value4'  => "four" )

['efgh'] = ( 'value1' => "ha",
                 'value2' => "haha",
                'valuex'  => "xyz",
                'value3' => "hohoho",
                'value6' => "six6" )
*/
?>
What's the easiest way to do this?

Hi, I have the following code which FTPs to a site, gets the source code for a HTML file and then puts the data inbetween <TITLE> and </TITLE> into an array and this works fine:
<?php
$file = file_get_contents("ftp://user:pass@domain/public_html/index.html", "r");

if (!$file) {
    echo "<p>Unable to open remote file.\n";
    exit;
}
preg_match_all ('/<TITLE>(.*)<\/TITLE>/msU', $file, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

print_r ($matches);

?>

Rather than finding a match for data between <TITLE> and </TITLE> however I would like it to pull back what is inbetween the following:

<!--START--> and <!--END-->

I have tried the following but it doesn't put anything into the array:

preg_match_all ('/<!--START-->(.*)<\/!--END-->/msU', $file, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

This is the content of the html file if this helps:

Code: [Select]
<TITLE>The Title</TITLE>
<!--START--><p><strong>Some Text</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="images/IMAG0152_2.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="100" /></strong></p>
<!--END-->

i can get a match on stuff between TITLEs but not START and END.. I'm not sure how to change preg_match_all to work!! i've tried loads of combinations but can't get any to work, but i'm not really sure on modifiers and patterns or escaping etc,  if anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks in advance
kev.

Im trying to match this string, but i dont wat to match normal words like "hello world 646"

Code: [Select]
$string = "2ab055843241f20044af82ae0d5ace04"; //always over 15 chars - without spaces

if ( preg_match('~^[0-9\s]+$~D', $string)) {
echo 'yes';
}
If i can do it with preg_match that would be great

How to a check if a php variable value is one of the following characters: A to J, or ,k to t, (ie.: A B C D E F G H I J k l m n o p q r s t)   I tried:

if (preg_match[A-Jk-t], $checkChar) 
{   
// do this
}

 

I'm pretty new to this, How exactly could i get the text between the www. and .com?

so if i have a url:

http://www.facebook.com

I want to just return  "facebook"

I know $regex_pattern is wrong but I need a solution to find a content between <body> and </body>.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$content = "<html><head><title>Your IP</title></head><body>Your IP Address: 63.1.142.154</body></html>";
$regex_pattern = "/<body>(.*)<\/body>/";
$preg_match($regex_pattern,htmlspecialchars($content),$matches);
print_r( $matches );
?>

in my site search some of the results come out still with html. i have used the strip tags function but how would i use the preg_match function to get rid of the "> still left over?

I need to select an array item based on my preg result. for example:

Code: [Select]
$content = 'test-1';

$match = preg_replace('|test-([0-9])|', $array['\\1'], $content);
is this possible?

Hi guys,
I have been using this code:
preg_match('/<h2>(.*?)<\/h2>/', $data, $matches);

which i changed to:
$tag1 = 'h2';
$tag2 = 'h2';
preg_match('/$tag1(.*?)$tag2/', $data, $matches);

however i need it to work allowing variables (of any character or symbol) within $tag1.
I tried
$tag1 = 'h(.*?)2';
$tag2 = 'h2';
preg_match('/$tag1(.*?)$tag2/', $data, $matches);

but that does not work ....

essentiall the whole thing would work like this (example only):
firstpartoftag1VARIABLE1lastpartoftag1VARIABLE2tag2

ps the preg_match should only capture the VARIABLE2 data not VARIABLE1

any ideas or help would be much appreciated

cheers in advance

I have a DOMDocument which I inspect an HTML page for links (href)
That part works however I am not sure how to use preg_match if I only want to display a link in this layout:

<tr>
<td headers="c1"><a title="Link to entity information." tabindex="1" href="CORPSEARCH.ENTITY_INFORMATION?p_nameid=3236937&p_corpid=3227476&p_entity_name=%41%72%77%65%6E%20%45%71%75%69%74%69%65%73&p_name_type=%41&p_search_type=%42%45%47%49%4E%53&p_srch_results_page=0">ABC LLC</a></td>

</tr>


I hope someone is really good at preg_match to help me. Thanks.
