[PHP] preg_match_all question

[Phil Ewington - iModel Ltd.]

Hi All,

Having an issue with regular expressions, never been my strong point!

The following pattern only picks up one instance per line, if more than 
one instance exists all text from first {{ to last }} is included, can 
anyone point out where I am going wrong?


preg_match_all(/\{\{lang:(.*)\}\}/, $str, $tags);

Here is an example of what needs to be processed

ullispan{{lang:PA1Feature1}}/span/lilispan{{lang:PA1Feature2}}/span/li/ul
ullispan{{lang:PA2Feature1}}/span/lilispan{{lang:PA2Feature2}}/span/li/ul

TIA

Phil.

You need the ungreedy modifier:

preg_match_all(/\{\{lang:(.*)\}\}/U, $str, $tags);

Cheers,

Rob you're a star, thanks mate.

[PHP] PECL JSON package

[Phil Ewington - iModel]

Hi All,

I have just installed the PECL JSON package, or at least think I have!! 
But how do I use it?? I was expecting /usr/share/pear/Services/JSON.php 
to be found on my system for include but not so. My system tells me I 
have 1.2.1 successfully installed but I cannot find any docs that tell 
me how to make use of it. I am running PHP 5.1.6 at present.


TIA

Phil.

OK, seems I am confusing PECL and PEAR. Have now configured extension 
using phpize and enabled in php.ini.

If you're using the pecl version, it is json_encode().

If you're using the pear version you say
require_once 'Services/JSON.php';
$json = new Services_JSON();
$output = $json-encode($value);

If you're using php5, you should have json in the build unless it was
disabled for some reason.  If you're going to be using it a lot,
you're really going to want the speed of the c version.

  
Yeah thanks. I am using the PECL version and have it compiled as an 
extension now working fine, just got confused with installing PEAR 
scripts. I have PHP 5.1.6, JSON only available in build from 5.2.0 I 
believe.
