[PHP] What's the problem with this PHP code?
Here is the PHP code:
?php
$panka =c:can-it-rock-
:the-boat-of-
:love- ;
$pankb = preg_split(':',$panka);
$pankc = $pankb{1};
echo ( . $panka . )\n( . $pankc . )\n;
?
I keep getting the following error:
Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$
Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$ php testo.php
Warning: preg_split(): No ending delimiter ':' found in
/Users/red_angel/tmp/testo.php on line 8
( c:can-it-rock-
:the-boat-of-
:love- )
()
Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$
Sophia-Shapiras-MacBook-Pro:tmp red_angel$
So --- what am I missing? What am I doing wrong? I'm pulling my hair out
over this one! Anyone have a clue what's up? I can see that the colon is
present *multiple* times in the string that is meant to be split! How
come PHP's preg_split() function can't see it?
Thanks,
Sophia

[PHP] Need Help - extract unstructured data for parse reformat and import into DB
I need to get some guidance on a project. I have to extract unstructured data from a .CSV file and reformat the data to import into MSSQL. The unstructured data is basically in some kind of sub summary report. Note: the files will include a range from 1 to 12 months of information (month to date). Four different .CSV files would need to be reformatted at the same time. The file size for one is about 1.7 MB and containing roughly around 21,115 rows of data in each. Would PHP be a good program to use for this project? Has anyone had to reformat unstructured data to insert into a database? If anyone has any suggestions or examples please let me know. J I was thinking about importing the data into an array then parsing through the information with multiple if statements then using SQL to insert the data into a database. This will be my first PHP parse project so any examples and suggestions to get me started would be greatly appreciated. A small sample of the data structure is below: Thank You, Sophia [EMAIL PROTECTED] /WCS37 /WCS9 /WCS9 WCS9 RETAIL REGIS PAG E1 VEHIC LE TYPE CAR T AREA: PLACE MONTH MONTH MONTH OCT.SEP.AUG 200320032003 GROUP MAK MDL - --- --- - - - SPTY COUP AU RSX3 4 8 CCT CAR FORD FC 4 1 7 REPORT DATE: 1/12/01 RETAIL REGIS PAG E1 VEHIC LE TYPE CAR T AREA: PLACE2 MONTH MONTH MONTH OCT.SEP.AUG 200320032003 GROUP MAK MDL - --- --- - - - SPTY COUP AU RSX1 7 3 CCT CAR FORD FC 2 2 5 REPORT DATE: 1/12/01 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
