I found some long functions to achieve this but I couldn't help but
think that it could be done in a couple lines.
Possible?
Thanks.
I'm not sure it's the best method, but it didn't take long to come up with this:
?php
$string = This is the string and it is this long;
if (preg_match_all('/(?:(?:\w+\s+){2}|(?:\w+$))/', $string, $matches)) {
var_dump($matches[0]);
}

If you're trying to do a regular expression based search and replace,
you probably ought to use preg_replace instead of str_replace, as
str_replace doesn't parse regular expressions.
Try this one out, I think I got what you wanted to do:
?php
$file = screens/temp/7a45gfdi6icpan1jtb1j99o925_1_main.jpg;
echo preg_replace('#(screens/)temp/(.+?)_1(_main\.jpg)#', '$1$2$3', $file);

RE: [PHP] Replace in a string with regex
Totally right on the corrections. Sorry, i did not copy paste from the source
code, I wrote here to change to other names and wrote it bad.
It should be:
$file = 'screens/temp/7a45gfdi6icpan1jtb1j99o925_1_main.jpg';
echo $a = str_replace(array('7a45gfdi6icpan1jtb1j99o925',
'temp/',’_([0-9])’), array('test','',''), $file)
Already understand that str_replace doesn't work with regex, but not getting
any luck making one preg_replace() to my needs.
Thank you

Well, you seem to have some problems with the syntax you're using on
str_replace(). According to your script, you want to remove the
following:
7a45gfdi6icpan1jtb1j99o925- which you haven't even enclosed in quote
marks
'temp/'
’_([0-9])’- which are using weird back ticks, not quote marks
and you are trying to replace those three things with
“test” - again, not proper quote marks
”” - not proper quote marks
Afaik, str_replace() doesn't allow for text replacement using regular
expressions, for that you'd have to use something like preg_replace()
Also, make sure your strings are correctly enclosed in quote marks, and
that the quote marks you use are actual quote marks and not the accented
'pretty' ones that are offered up by word processors, etc.
A regex which would do the job would look something like this:
^([^/]+)[^_]+\/(.+)$
That should create 2 matches, one for the initial directory and the
other for the latter part of the filename.

To avoid confusion, rather than something like
$1{$id}$3
Which looks really indecipherable, I'd definitely think something like
'$1' . $id . '$3'
is a lot easier to read and understand what's going on by immediately
looking at it.
As an added bonus, it'll definitely work ;)

Don't you also have to escape the $'s for the matches since it's in

RE: [PHP] Replace in a string with regex
Hi,

Sure that can be done. But you will need to change the second argument
to have double quotes so it will be parsed by PHP.
Then I would surround YOUR variable with curly brackets to separate it
from the rest.
echo preg_replace('#(screens/)temp/.+?_1(_main\.jpg)#',
$1{$id}$3,

I am confusing and '.

If you're trying to do a regular expression based search and replace,
you probably ought to use preg_replace instead of str_replace, as
str_replace doesn't parse regular expressions.
Try this one out, I think I got what you wanted to do:
?php
$file = screens/temp/7a45gfdi6icpan1jtb1j99o925_1_main.jpg;
echo preg_replace('#(screens/)temp/(.+?)_1(_main\.jpg)#', '$1$2$3',
$file);
In the second parameter, $2 is the string you'd want to replace to
test so change '$1$2$3' to '$1test$3'.
It seems like you're having trouble with regular expressions, may I
suggest you read up on them?
http://www.regular-expressions.info/ is a pretty great free resource,
as ridiculous as the design is.
I tested this, with the double quotes and the curly braces around the
middle argument (to avoid PHP getting confused) and it didn't recognise
the matches by the numbered $1, $3, etc. I know I'm not the op who asked
the original question, but it might help him/her?
Thanks

To avoid confusion, rather than something like
$1{$id}$3
Which looks really indecipherable, I'd definitely think something like
'$1' . $id . '$3'
is a lot easier to read and understand what's going on by immediately
looking at it.
As an added bonus, it'll definitely work ;)

What is wrong with having na integer on the var ?
Well, the problem here is that when you concatenate $id containing 70 on to
'$1', you effectively end up with '$170' -- which the manual page at
http://php.net/preg-replace makes clear is ambiguous, but is likely to be
treated as $17 followed by a zero, rather than $1 followed by 70. Since $17
doesn't exist (as you don't have that many capturing subpatterns in your
pattern!), it is taken to be the null string -- leaving just the left over 0 as
the result of the replacement. QED.
The workaround for this is also given on the page referenced above, which is to
make your replacement be '${1}'.$id.
Incidentally, I don't really see the need for the $1, or the equivalent
parentheses in the pattern -- since a fixed string is involved, why not just
use it directly in both places? Like this:
preg_replace('#screen/temp/(.+?)_1(.+?\.jpg)#', 'screen/'.$id, $file);
which completely sidesteps the problem.
Cheers!

The workaround for this is also given on the page referenced above, which is to
make your replacement be '${1}'.$id.
Incidentally, I don't really see the need for the $1, or the equivalent
parentheses in the pattern -- since a fixed string is involved, why not just
use it directly in both places? Like this:
preg_replace('#screen/temp/(.+?)_1(.+?\.jpg)#', 'screen/'.$id, $file);
which completely sidesteps the problem.
Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Replace/Update record in dbase using dbase_replace_record()
Rahul Sitaram Johari wrote:
Ave,
Can¹t figure this one out. I¹m using the dbase_replace_record() function to
replace a record in a dbase (.dbf) database. I just want to replace the
value of one of the fields with another value. This is my code:
$db = dbase_open(CRUMBS.DBF, 2) or die(Fatal Error: Could not open
database!);
if ($db) {
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);
if ($row['PHONE'] == $thekey) {
print_r($row);
$row['A'] == F;
dbase_replace_record($db, $row, 1);
}
}
}
dbase_close($db);
Basically I have a database called ³CRUMBS.DBF², and the record where PHONE
= $thekey, I want to replace the value of the field ³A² with ³F². I keep
getting the error: ³Wrong number of fields specified².
I have over 60 fields in each row and I just want to replace the value of
the field ³A².
Any suggestions?
get a big jar of 'clue'. as in learn to investigate and read ...
not having ever used these functions here are my hypotheses based on 5 seconds
of
investigation and reading:
1. dbase_get_record_with_names() gives a assoc. array - it may also have
fields as indexed items in that array (like other DB extensions often do) ergo
double
the fields that you want.
2. quoting the following page: http://php.net/dbase_get_record_with_names
Return Values
An associative array with the record. This will also include a key named
deleted which is set to 1 if the record has
been marked for deletion
so dbase_replace_record() is possibly seeing 'deleted' as a extra erranous
field.
3. maybe looking at and comparing the output of print_r($row),
dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i)
and dbase_get_record($db, $i) might tell you something;

seems ok ...
first, and most important: never store in DB row submitted string
$act_extra = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[editextra]);
$act_extra_fr = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[editextrafr])
the following should always be an integer (probably) ...
$act_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[editid]);
so why not do:
$act_id = intval($_POST[editid]);
if (!$act_id) die('go away script kiddie!');
then:
$sqledit =
update activities
set act_extra='.$act_extra.',
act_extra_fr = '.$act_extra_fr.'
where act_id = '.$act_id.';
very minor point - but why not save your eyes a little:
$sqledit = UPDATE activities
SET act_extra='{$act_extra}',
act_extra_fr='{$act_extra_fr}'
WHERE act_id={$act_id};
to check:
echo $sqledit;
it should work now.
hope this helped.

RE: [PHP] replace single and double quotes
It might be bad database design yes, however, it all depends on what he is trying to do. I do it your way Jochem (normalizing the database), but in some cases the budget to do that might not be big enough. If the client gives you a task and an budget, normalizing the database might be a waste of time. I do recommend he should do some reading about SQL injection, phpsec.org is probably good enough. But to get him going he could just learn that he should always mysql_real_escape_string on strings, and if he expect integers to come, use the sprintf and %d.

Don't use double-quoted strings unless you *need* to. Ditto for the rest
of your code.
The big problem is the character \ which, if I got it right, in
UNICODE is used for things like expressing line breaks ('\n' or
something like this).
\n is a newline character, however it has nothing to do with unicode,
RTFM for details.
The code above is resulting in the following
error massage: Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in
/xxx/xxx/xxx/TMPz06yoces6o.php on line 2.
Switch to using a decent syntax highlighting editor and these types of
errors will be immediately obvious.

Re: [PHP] Replace credit card numbers with X ???
In addition to what was mentioned already, using ereg_replace, if you're pulling the CC# string out of a database of off of some POST data or something, just use a substr() function to pull the last 4 digits and prepend a bunch of X's. $ccnum = 342342522342342; # fake CC #, prob not even correct # of digits :) $maskedccnum = XXX . substr($ccnum,strlen($ccnum)-5,4); If you're trying to do it in a form, realtime as the user enters it, you'd have to use some funky javascript or do something with a password form type or something. But sounds like you want it like when you display an invoice afterwards or display a Would you like to use this CC that's already on file? type thing without exposing the whole CC#. -TG = = = Original message = = = Hello, I need to replace all the numbers of a credit card except for the last 4 with an 'X' ... can't seem to locate the string function for this... can someone point me in the right direction here to what php item i should be using.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Could you elaborate? In particular
where does preg_replace() fit in?
It seems you want $strValue to be I am My Computer,build version 1.0\n. If
so:
1) you have completely misunderstood what preg_replace() is for
2) Use:
$strValue=I am {$message['name']},build version {$message['version']}\n;

Yikes! Never use user input directly in your SQL statements. This is very dangerous. There are functions to help you escape your data. For example, if you are using MySQL, you can use this function: http://www.php.net/mysql_escape_string However, you should also validate your data before doing anything else. Make sure it is exactly what type of data you are expecting, then escape the string just prior to constructing your SQL statement. Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Replace of ' in a query
Look at the addslashes command. You should always escape the values you are accepting from user input. If you read almost any article on web site security, it will mention something called SQL injection among other things. This is a way to compromise your data. For instance, what if a user entered: 1 OR A=A Now what if you used that user input to filter a query. You may end up with: SELECT * FROM db WHERE field=1 OR A=A Which would return every record in the database.

[PHP] RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: [PHP] Replace of ' in a query
Never trust the web... Esacping is bad practis. Doing it, is to ask for trouble when you try to port the code to another system that a) escapes in another way, or b) does not escape at all, the transparent way to handle quote are to quote them. This has been working for the last 40 to 50 years or so, and still works fine.

Re: [PHP] replace %rand[x]-[y]% macro in string with random string
on Tue, 2 Dec 2003 23:46:33 +0100 I already wrote, regarding replacing
macro %rand[x]-[y] with random of random length ([x]-[y]).
Before, I had my own (slow!) procedure to find next occurence of the
macro and generated a new string, which was returned.
This took about 15 seconds for 10.000 addresses, where the macro could
appear. As this was too slow, I rewrote it to use preg_replace (what a
cool thing, to use a function as replacement) and this takes it down
to about 2,5 seconds!!
Very great - just want to lez you know that.. ;)
So this is it:
// replaces %rand[x]-[y]% with random text with length between [x] and [y]
function parserandstr($toparse){
function genrandstr($minlen, $maxlen){
echo $minlen, $maxlen, 'br';
$ch = array(
'punct' = array('.', '.', '.', '..', '!', '!!', '?!'),
'sep' = array(', ', ' - '),
'vocal' = array('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'),
'cons_low' = array('x', 'y', 'z'),
'cons_norm' = array('b', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'p',
'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'v', 'w')
);
$ch['newlineafter'] = array_merge(' ', $ch['punct'], $ch['sep']);
$rlen = rand($minlen, $maxlen);
// generate random string
$randstr = ''; $inword = 0; $insentence = 0; $lastchar = ''; $lastwasvocal = false;
$lastnewline = 0;
$rbreak = rand(0, 100);
for ($j = 0; $j $rlen; $j++){
if ($inword 3 rand(0, 5) == 1) { // punctuation chars
if (rand(0,5) 0) $char = ' ';
else {
$char = $ch['punct'][rand(0, count($ch['punct'])-1)] . ' ';
$j += strlen($char)-1;
$insentence = 0;
}
$inword = 0;
}
else {
if (!$lastwasvocal rand(0, 10) 6) { // vocals
$char = $ch['vocal'][rand(0, count($ch['vocal'])-1)];
$lastwasvocal = true;
} else {
do {
if (rand(0, 30) 0) // normal priority consonants
$char = $ch['cons_norm'][rand(0, count($ch['cons_norm'])-1)];
else $char = $ch['cons_low'][rand(0, count($ch['cons_low'])-1)];
} while ($char == $lastchar);
$lastwasvocal = false;
}
$inword++;
$insentence++;
}
if ($insentence == 1 || ($inword == 1 rand(0, 30) 10)) $randstr .=
strtoupper($char);
else $randstr .= $char;
$lastchar = $char;
if ($lastnewline $rbreak rand(0, 30) 10 in_array($char,
$ch['newlineafter'])){
$randstr .= \n;
$lastnewline = 0;
$rbreak = rand(0, 100);
} else $lastnewline++;
}
return $randstr;
}
$pattern = array('/%rand(\d+)-(\d+)%/e', '/%rand%/e');
$replace = array('genrandstr($1, $2)', 'genrandstr(5, 40)');
return preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $toparse);

I missed the original post, and I'm too lazy to go looking, but the
following code runs in approx. 2.75 seconds on my Athlon 2400 running
linux:
$chars = '0123456789'
.'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
.'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
$charArray = array();
for( $i = 0; $i 100; $i++ )
{
$charArray[] = $chars[rand( 0, 61 )];
}
It's runs much faster than using a .= style of string creation.
Cheers,
Rob.

Okay, you got me on that one, but why do you need to remove the newlines? It should be stored in the database (if you're doing so) with the newlines and not the HTML breaks. You only use the nl2br() to output it on a web page, so who cares if the new lines are still there? The manual page explains this correctly, btw.

The only downside is that this is some input ends up the same way because the regexp is greedy, but the upside is that it will work for UNIX (\n), Mac (\r), and DOS/Win (\r\n) input.

Re: [PHP] Replace linefeed/newline from text inputs with br tag?
John, et al -- ...and then John Holmes said... % % Okay, you got me on that one, but why do you need to remove the In my case, I had a newline-delimited file of field@@data field@@data field@@data and when the data had an embedded newline like comment@@this is a long comment field@@data then it messed things up. Yeah, I learned about the possibility of using XML along the way, and I've already thought about serialize and base64 (which I *do* use inside the code, though not out in the file) for simple protections, but a requirement was that the text file also be readable and editable by people -- and, besides, I'm just extending this code rather than writing it :-) % newlines? It should be stored in the database (if you're doing so) with % the newlines and not the HTML breaks. You only use the nl2br() to % output it on a web page, so who cares if the new lines are still there? For output, it doesn't matter, as you say. My problem was input :-) % % The manual page explains this correctly, btw. It says that a br / % will be inserted before all newlines. Yeah, but that requires actual reading ;-) Who knows any more what TFM is? % % ---John Holmes...

RE: [PHP] Replace linefeed/newline from text inputs with br tag?
If i have a textarea form input for users and they enter in return spaces, how can i replace the ascci chars with html tags? It'd be great if they had a function for this...they could call it nl2br() or something... www.php.net/nl2br ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] replace question
(This is more info on the question I asked before)
Here's the text file (text.txt):
This is a test of the templating program.
Here's hoping it's working!

Here's one line from the CSV file (new_data.csv):
John,Smith,4770 Rosepetal Ct., Richmond, VA 22032 USA,(703)
978-4472,0/0/00,
And here's the code I have (merge.php):
1 ?
2 $row = 1;
3
4 $text = fopen(text.txt, r);
5 $merged = fopen(merged_text.html, w);
6 $fp = fopen(new_data.csv, r);
7
8 $filecontents = fread($text,filesize(text.txt));
9
10 while ($data = fgetcsv ($fp, 1000, ,)) {
11 $num = count ($data);
12 $row++;
13 for ($c=0; $c $num; $c++) {
14 $fullname = $data[0] . . $data[1];
15 $newfullname = a
href=.$fullname..$fullname./a;
16 $newfilecontents =
str_replace($fullname,$newfullname,$filecontents);
17
18 fwrite($merged,$newfilecontents);

20 }
21 echo nl2br($newfilecontents);
22 // fwrite($merged,$newfilecontents);
23 fclose ($fp);
24 fclose ($merged);
25 fclose ($text);

How about posting a sample row or two along with how you want the data to

RE: [PHP] replace question
Are you having trouble pulling the data out of the file, or creating the link? Do you want a link created for every row? What is the makeup of the file? Is array[0] the URL, and array[1] the desription? If it's just the link you need, that's easy... echo a href=' . $array[0] .
