[PHP-DB] String manipulation

[Ron Piggott]

How would I put a space after each letter:

echo str_shuffle(stripslashes(mysql_result($word_result,0,word));

CSS best handles styling

E.G.
   div style=letterspacing:0.5em;php echo $word_result;?/div
OR
   ?php
   print div style='letterspacing:0.5em;'$word_result/div;
   ?

Increase the em value to customize the spacing

You can do like this:

$str = 'helloworld';

echo preg_replace('//', ' ', $str);

this will print out  - h e l l o w o r l d

Are you trying to achieve this in the db or for the application? It sounds 
like the application, in which case I would get the string from the db and 
then use substr to pull out the various elements.

$first_name = substr($rows['name'],0,1);
$last_name = substr($rows['name'],1);

Hi there everyone,

I'm working with a mysql Db where I have a single string that I have to
split into 2 strings, the first character is the first name and I have that
split off into it's own variable, but what I need to know is what's the 
best
method to read the string again BUT ignore the first letter as that is
already copied into $firstname?  So basically I have $firstname defined 
from
the one string, but I have to define $lastname from the SAME string value 
as
the one I used for $firstname, BUT ignoring the first letter but I'm not
sure what the best method is to achieve this?


Any help would be very appreciated.

Chris

Hello everyone,

this is my first post, so please bare with me. I am very new to php and i am 
currently working on modifying existing php e-commerce site.

so my question is as follow and its more of a general question but it 
involves a db so i thought i would ask here

i have a mysql db, in one of the fields, there is a description of an item, 
along with a url all in one field. what i need to do is to extract the url 
string from the description field.

is there some sort of parsing call i can evoke to extract the url? Beginning 
with the http and ending with the first white space?

Martin
