You've started off fine, stripping tags, converting to lower case,
you'll want to either convert or strip HTML entities as well, deciding
what you want to do with plurals and words like "you're", "Charlie's",
"it's", etc, also whether something like RFC822 is a word or not
(mixed letters and numbers).
When you've arranged all that, splitting on white space is trivial:
$words = preg_split('/[[:space:]]+/',$text);
and then you just run through the words building an associative array
by incrementing the count of each word as the key to the array:
foreach ($words as $word) {
$freq[$word]++;
}
For output, you may want to sort the array:
ksort($freq);
That's awesome. Thanks!
Let me start with my first problem:
I want to extract All Occurrences of text AFTER "News Releases" and
before "-30-".
http://www.cegepsherbrooke.qc.ca/~languesmodernes/test/test.html
How do I do that?
Yeah, I am still asking first year questions :)) Every project brings
new challenges.
You can use strpos() to find the location of "News Releases" then you
can again use strpos() to find the location of "-- 30 --" but you will
want to feed strpos() an offset for matching "-- 30 --" (specifically
the position found for "News Releases"). This ensures that you only
match on "-- 30 --" when it comes after "News Releases". Once you have
your beginning and start offsets you can use substr() to create a
substring of the interesting excerpt. Once you have the excerpt in hand
you can go back to JTJ's recommendation above.
Cheers,
Rob.

Sorry... *YOU* are JTJ, but you trimmed the post including the
responder's name (which you should leave intact when trimming). I defer
(I think) to tamouse's recommendation above.

This question actually belongs on the PHP General mailing list.
As for echoing into a variable, the only way that's really
possible is with output buffering (ob_start(), ob_get_contents(),
ob_end_clean(), et al). However, you don't need (and shouldn't want)
to do this here. Instead, as your snippet really won't do much of
anything useful, you should (entirely) rewrite your code to look
something like this, for an HTML table:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?'.PHP_EOL;
echo '<table>'.PHP_EOL;
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
echo ' <tr>'.PHP_EOL;
echo ' <td>'.$key.'</td>'.PHP_EOL;
echo ' <td>'.$value.'</td>'.PHP_EOL;
echo ' </tr>'.PHP_EOL;
}
echo '</table>';
?>
However, since it looks almost as if you're trying to build a
query string based upon the supplied GET variables, you may want to
try looking into http_build_query().

All,
I need to set up a server to enable 5,000 students to have web hosting
provided by the school with PHP and MySQL support. I'm trying to figure
out what is the best way to do this.
We have Active Directory and are using Centrify to authenticate
usernames and passwords on our Linux servers. I am imagining it would
be great if we use something like ExecCGI to ensure that PHP runs as the
user that owns the files. We would then provide FTP access to the files
and FTP would authenticate against Active Directory making sure to set
the proper user/group on files when uploaded.
I see that PHP-FPM exists: http://php-fpm.org and it claims "Ability to
start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment and different
php.ini (replaces safe_mode)" which is exactly what I'm looking for. It
also claims "PHP-FPM is now included in PHP core as of PHP 5.3.3." so
that's good.
I also read about the greatness that is NGinX: http://nginx.org though I
don't know if I can use it because I think I also need to use .htaccess
files. I need a way for students to be able to password protect their
directories and files. If there's another way using NGinX or Apache,
that's good too. I know of no other way.
Here is an interesting article from 2009:
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-mass-virtualhosting-with-apache2-mod_rewrite-mod_userdir-mod_suexec-on-centos-5.3
That uses mod_rewrite to attempt something like what I'm trying to do
... and then, Apache has mod_vhost_alias:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html
So, I see a lot of information out there. Apache, NginX, ExecCGI,
FastCGI, mod_vhost_alias, mod_rewrite, SuExec, mod_userdir. I suspect
some of these methods are old and out of date.
In my ideal situation:
- users would be created in AD and would exist on the OS
- student domain names would look like:
http://<username>.student.school.edu/ - OR -
http://student.school.edu/<username>/
- file directories would look like:
/mnt/somedir/<username>/docroot
- students would be able to create PHP applications executed with
their own permissions
- I would be able to configure all 5,000 accounts with a single
configuration (1 virtual host rule?)
Do you know what the "best practices" are for now ... here in 2012?
