thanks in advance

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!

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting a piece of code to work and as a result right now i have bloated code on a simple task.  Currently my code looks like this:

Code: [Select]
//convert responses into one string to check for spam
$full_string = $name.' | '.$email.' | '.$message;
//look for spam words
if ( (stristr($full_string, 'test')) || (stristr($full_string, 'http')) || (stristr($full_string, 'www')) || (stristr($full_string, 'site')) || (stristr($full_string, 'fake')) || (stristr($full_string, 'viagra')) || (stristr($full_string, 'cialis')) || (stristr($full_string, 'asdf')) || (stristr($full_string, 'txt')) || (stristr($full_string, 'doc')) || (stristr($full_string, 'xls')) || (stristr($full_string, 'htm')) || (stristr($full_string, 'sale')) || (stristr($full_string, 'free')) ){

I would like to instead place all my 'spam' words in an array like this
Code: [Select]
$spam_array = array('test', 'viagra', cialis...etc
If i had all my spam words in an array, how would i write an if statement to check if any of those words appeared in $full_string ?

Thanks for your help!

I want to check if a string has any of words listed in array;
Code: [Select]
$array=array('word1', 'word2', 'word3');
$string="This is a sentence containing word2";
Now I want to make an 'if else' to check if the string contains any of the words listed in the array. Thanks 

I am trying to make it echo if a string doesn't equal any of the values.   I have tried:   if(!preg_match("/none|Blue|Brown|Green|Grey)/i", $eyecolor)){ echo "Not an eye color"; } 

Hello,

I have several job categories on a recruitment website:

$job_category[0]="accountant";
$job_category[1]="php programming";
$job_category[2]="baseball";

these job categories are contained within the urls imediately after the recruiting company's name and before the word "jobs", so we could have the following urls:

www.url.com/company_name_accountant_jobs
www.url.com/another_company_name_baseball_jobs
www.url.com/yet_another_company_name_php programming_jobs

Using the array $job_categories and the page path after the foward slash (e.g. yet_another_company_name_php programming_jobs) please could you tell me how to strip out the job category and the company name? (I'll extract the page path using a mod_rewrite)

Thanks

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, i seem to be stuck again and this bug is difficult for me to solve.

if(isset($_POST['boards']))
	$boards[] = $_POST['boards'];
$allboards = implode("",$boards[0]);
echo $allboards;

outputs (browser source)...
hello
world

I have a combobox with the "multiple" property.  when two items are selected, the combobox "name" property has an array that passes to the $_POST variable. what i would like is those two words to be displayed on the same line.
I have tried rtrim($var, "\r\n") but that does nothing.

the reason i need them on the same line is because i would change then to "hello, world" and then add them as a mysql query, for example... $query = "SELECT hello, world FROM table...

Hi,

I am trying to make some adjustments to uploadify.php which comes with the latest version of uploadify (3.0 beta), so that it works with a session variable that stores the login username and adds it to the path for uploads.  Here is uploadify.php as it currently looks:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_name("MyLogin");
session_start();

$targetFolder = '/songs/' . $_SESSION['name']; // Relative to the root

if (!empty($_FILES)) {
$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $targetFolder;
$targetFile = rtrim($targetPath,'/') .'/'. $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

// Validate the file type
$fileTypes = array('m4a','mp3','flac','ogg'); // File extensions
$fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes)) {
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo '1';
} else {
echo 'Invalid file type.';
}
}

echo $targetFolder;

?>
I added Code: [Select]
echo $targetFolder; at the bottom so that I could make sure that the string returned was correct, and it is, i.e. '/songs/nick'.  For some reason though, uploads are not going to the correct folder, i.e. the username folder, but instead are going to the parent folder 'songs'.  The folder for username exists, with correct permissions, and when I manually enter Code: [Select]
$targetFolder = '/songs/nick';all works fine.  Which strikes me as rather strange.  I have limited experience of using php, but wonder how if the correct string is returned by the session variable, the upload works differently than with the manually entered string.

Any help would be much appreciated.  It's the last issue with a website that was due to go live 2 days ago!

Thanks,

Nick

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. My issue is that I can't think of a way to edit a XML file using PHP's XML functionality and then assign the edited contents to a string instead of saving the file. Because my issue is that I have to edit the XML file based upon a string brought from a remote location then give it back to that remote location using a string again, to be exact I am doing it via Linux command line utilizing SSH2.

This is what I managed to complete on my own.


function CheckIVMPConfig($ServerID)
{
global $Panel;

if(is_numeric($ServerID) && $this->IsValidServer($ServerID))
{
// We select the game server that the FTP account was created for.
$Servers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_servers WHERE server_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($FTPAccount['ftp_server'])."'");
$Server = mysql_fetch_array($Servers);

// Here we select the Box ID that the game server is on.
$Boxs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_machines WHERE machine_id = '".$Server['server_machine']."'");
$Box = mysql_fetch_array($Boxs);

// Now we select the required package for the box.
$Packages = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_packages WHERE package_id = '".$Server['server_package']."'");
$Package = mysql_fetch_array($Packages);

// Retrive the file.
$Config = $CProtocol->exec("cat /home/{$Server['server_id']}/{$Package['package_config']}");

$Parse = SimpleXMLElement($Config);

foreach($Parse as $Entry) // loop through our books
{
if($Entry->port != $Server['server_port'])
{
// edit the value
}
else if($Entry->maxplayers > $Server['server_slots'])

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!

I'm having trouble of getting the code right
When i try to dump the $x value it's appearing null;

Code: [Select]
class Dictionary{

var $id=null;
var $en=null;
var $sp=null;
var $type=null;

public function __construct($data=array())
{
   if( isset($data['id']) ) $this->id= (int)$data['id'];
   if( isset($data['en']) ) $this->en= $data['en'];
   if( isset($data['sp']) ) $this->sp= $data['sp'];
   if( isset($data['type']) ) $this->type= $data['type'];
 
}
public function store ( $params ) {
 
    // Store all the parameters
    $this->__construct( $params );
}



public function WordGet($word)//add the english and spanish word
{

$con = new PDO(DBN,DB_USER,DB_PASS);
$sql = "SELECT *FROM word WHERE MATCH(en) AGAINST ('ctx')";
$st = $con->prepare($sql);
$st->bindValue(':word',$word,PDO::PARAM_STR);
$st->execute();
$r = $st->fetch();

$con = null;
return new Dictionary($r);

}


$test = new Dictionary;

$x = $test->WordGet('ctx');


var_dump($x);

so I use file_get_contents to get the contents of a webpage, one of the lines has


Code: [Select]
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.google.com/blahblahblah?s=5cd04d4a7632296b9cdb463d04e82c05" />
I want it to echo only http://www.google.com/blahblahblah so anything between <meta property="og:url" content=" and ?s=5cd04d4a7632296b9cdb463d04e82c05" /> I want to extract and put into a variable

this works just fine but I was thinking preg match would be better


$thread = explode('<meta property="og:url" content="', $psuc);
$thread = explode('?s=', $thread[1]);
echo $thread[0];


Thanks

I am having a dilemma.  I am working on a script for a client.  It is a match making system.  It takes all the teams, minimum of 20 teams. 10 matches a season.  No team can play the same team in the season.  Here is my code I have so far.  If it does not make sense ask me, I will try to explain more in depth.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include("security/config.php");

$sql_season = "insert into season (`season`) values ('1')";
$conn->query($sql_season) or die($conn->error);

//get number of teams
$sql_teams = "select * from teams";
$rs = $conn->query($sql_teams) or die($conn->error);
$num_of_teams = $rs->num_rows;
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;Number of teams this season: {$num_of_teams}<br />"; //testing purpose
//put all teams in array
$teams = array();
while($ts = $rs->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
	$teams[] = $ts;
}


if($num_of_teams % 2 != 0){
	$teams[] = array('name' => 'bye week', 'id' => 0);
	$sql_dummy = "insert into teams (`name`) values ('bye week')";
	$conn->query($sql_dummy);
