Hi there,
I want to create a function which will replace certain words out of a
text with internal links. That works so far, but if I have two matches,
I end up with invalid html code.
Example:
Welpen /hunde
Chihuahua Welpen /hunde,chihuahua
function seo_internal_links($str, $links, $limit) {
foreach($links AS $link){
$pattern[$k] = "~\b($link[phrase])\b~i";
$replace[$k] = '<a href="'.$link[link].'">\\1</a>';
$k++;
}
return preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$str, $limit);
}
seo_internal_links($ad[text], $seo_internal_links, $limit = 1);
This will result in:
<a href="//hunde,chihuahua">Chihuahua <a href="/hunde">Welpen</a></a>
Has somebody an idea on how to avoid this? I would also like to limit
the amount of hits, but the limit in preg_replace accounts only for
unique words, not the whole array.
Thank you for any hint,
Merlin

What are you trying to accomplish?
What do you think it wrong with the code below?
On 12/17/2010 8:19 AM, Martin C wrote:
Hi,
PHP converts x[a]=b parameter of the HTTP request as an array named x
with its item named a set to value b. So, it seems possible to have the
following (X)HTML code:
<input type="text" name="x[a]" id="x[a]" value="b" />
Unfortunatelly, HTML specification does not allow neither "[" nor "]"
inside the id attribute. Specifically:
* Must begin with a letter A-Z or a-z
* Can be followed by: letters (A-Za-z), digits (0-9), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".")
* Values are case-sensitive
How should I follow the HTML specification while having the passed
parameters automatically converted to arrays in PHP?
Thank you for any tips,
Martin

As a 'professional' programmer, working for an entity, we deal with
these problems as we go. As novices, we deal with it on a daily
basis. As computer scientists, we think of it as a problem already
solved, but in need of translation. Understand, buddy pal.

Hello all!
I have a question regarding arrays and the way I can use a value.
Let's say I have this string:
$s = 'banana,apple,mellon,grape,nut,orange'
I want to explode it, and get the third value. For this I would normally do:
$a = explode(',', $s);
echo $s[2];
That's all fine, but is there a way to get the value directly, without
having to write another line in my script. I mean something like this:
echo explode(',', $s)[2];
or
echo {explode(',', $s)}[2];
I couldn't find out this answer anywhere, that's why I posted here.
Cheers and thanks!
Sure it CAN be done. Nobody laugh too loud here... But...
<?php
$s = 'banana,apple,mellon,grape,nut,orange';
echo preg_replace('/([^,]+,){3}([^,]+).*/', '$2', $s);
?>
Outputs: grape
The {3} part is equivalent to the array position. Change that number,
and you change which word will get displayed.

Hi everyone,
I just started using PHPmailer for one project that requires SMTP
authentication (if I said that right).. and all is well.. but I want
to ask now before it might get outta hand later:
How many comma-delim'ed addresses can I stuff in $BCC_recipients
before I have problems (need to restructure the design)?
------------------------------------------------------
require("php_inc/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$BCC_recipients = "[email protected],[email protected]"; // <---just an
example
$arrBCC_recipients = explode(",", $BCC_recipients);
foreach ($arrBCC_recipients as $email2stuffInBCC) {
$mail->AddBcc($email2stuffInBCC);
}
if(!$mail->Send()) { // problem ....
------------------------------------------------------
For now there will be less than 100 Bcc recipients.. but later, more.
I don't know if/when it will ever grow past 1,000.

Dear List -
Thanks to all for your EXCELLENT comments. I definitly agree that
goto is a command to be avoided at all costs. In this case, I could
not figure out how to acheive the desired result without the
goto. So.... being a newbie, I humbly request that you show [and at
the same time teach] me how to rewrite the code to eleiminate the goto.
Additionally, would you please do the same for the code I list
below. This code runs perfectly.
==============
This is the form:
<html>
<head>
<title>Data Search</title>
<center><h4></b>Data Search</h3></center>
</head>
<body>
<form action="srchrhsptl2.php" method="post">
<center>Site: <input type="text" name="Site" value="AA" />
Record Number: <input type="text" name="MedRec" />
First Name: <input type="text" name="Fname" />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="Lname" /><br /><br />
Phone: <input type="text" name="Phone" />
Height: <input type="decimal" name="Height" /></input><br /><br />
Male<input type="radio" name="Sex" value = "0"></input>
Female<input type="radio" name="Sex" value = "1"></input><br /><br /><br />

Closed-minded drivel (or you're buttering up the popular opinion crowd).
A better approach is that goto should be used with caution.
As for doing your homework for you... ummm no thanks. You should take
the time to do the exercise so you gain the benefit of experience.
Cheers,
Rob.

I would have thought school would have been out on account of Christmas and all.
In any event, here's my rewrite:
switch (true)
{
case isset($_POST['Site']) && trim($_POST['Site']) != '':
$sql1 = $sql1 . "site = '$ste'";
break;
case isset($_POST['MedRec'])&& trim($_POST['MedRe']) != '':
$sql1 = $sql1 . "MedRec = '$req'";
break;
// ...
default:
if(isset($_Request['Sex'])&& trim($_POST['Sex']) != '' )
{
if ($_REQUEST["Sex"] == "0")
$sex = 'Male';
else
$sex = 'Female';
$sql1 = $sql1 . " = '$sex'";
$sexdone = 1;
}
if(isset($_POST['Hx'])&& trim($_POST['Hx']) != '')
{
$sql1 = $sql1 . "Hx = '$hx'";
$done = 1;
}
}
You could also do an if / else if / else if / ... / else.
