OK, probably the easiest thing to do would be to add some kind of state
functionality to the loop and use different logic/regex stuff based on
where in the process you are ... first test each line for '/^SHIP TO/',
'/^BILL TO/' or /^ORDER NO./ ... that could set your 'state' for the
script, then you can process each line properly (and it would get around
the ':' in an order line problem as you wouldn't execute on that basis
... in my head anyway that would make the main loop into a case
construct:
switch($stateofscript) {
case SHIP:
$shippinginfo[$matches[1]] = $matches[2];
break;
case BILL:
$billinginfo[$matches[1]] = $matches[2];
break;
case ORDER:
// split your order lines
break;
default;
// must not have hit the SHIPPING INFO yet so do nothing
}
The other thing you'll need to fix is that you have the generic
'address' tag for 3 different lines in both shipping and billing ... so
the logic will need to include a if(isset($shippinginfo[$matches[1]]))
thing to prepend or postfix an integer or something onto the index to
keep the lines straight.
I'd say you're getting there though.
