[PHP] Re: Question about string replace -PHP
I didn't ask the question about this, but I have a related issue. I'm
trying to do a replace, and am using str_replace, but the outcome is not
what I expected.
Here's my code:
?
$fp = fopen(new_data.csv, r);
$text = fopen(text.txt, r);
$merged = fopen(merged_text.html, w);
$filecontents = fread($text,filesize(text.txt));
while ($data = fgetcsv ($fp, 1000, ,)) {
$num = count ($data);
$fullname = $data[0] . ' ' . $data[1];
$newfullname = '123 ' . $fullname . ' 456';
$filecontents = str_replace($fullname, $newfullname, $filecontents);
}
fclose ($fp);
fwrite($merged,$filecontents);
fclose ($merged);
fclose ($text);
?
Here's the text file it's working on:
John Smith br
br
Peter Cooper br
br
Mike Brown br
br
Lisa Crow br
Here's the outcome:
123 123 John Smith 456 456 br
br
123 123 Peter Cooper 456 456 br
br
123 123 Mike Brown 456 456 br
br
123 123 Lisa Crow 456 456 br
I only want it to have one set of 123 and 456 on either side. Any ideas?

Remove the above line, it's superfluous.
$filecontents = str_replace($fullname, 123 $fullname 456, $filecontents);

[PHP] Re: Question about string replace -PHP
Replacing a constant string by another constant string works easily with str_replace (http://www.php.net/str_replace). More advanced replacements (with dynamic parts for example) can be replace using Regular expressions (look that up in the Manual, it's quite complex). Could give an example of what you want to repalce? Dan McCullough wrote: I have a script pulling in certain text from a site. I want the script to then from that retrieved text, to replace the incorrect domain with another domain. What is a way that I can do that, I know the domain that its going to put in the script, and I know the domain that I want to point it to.
