[PHP] String Question

[Dave Carrera]

Hi List,

How would I show 100 chars after finding the first instance of a searched
word in a string.

So I have a string of which I search for the first instance of hello and
display from there 100 more chars.

My output word then be something like:

 hello and show the next 100 chars...

Thank you in advance for any help or advice given.

Dave C

[PHP] string question

[Mukta Telang]

Hi,
if a string is:
$x=A.B. XYZ;
and if I post it as a hidden form control and echo $_POST['x'] then I
get:
A.B.
and not A.B. XYZ !
What should I do?

Learn HTML. Use quotes around your attribute values:

input type=hidden name=foo value=A.B. XYZ

how do you assign the value to the hidden form element?

Put quotes around the value attribute of your input tag, for example 
input type=hidden name=x value=A.B. XYZ /

Re: [PHP] String Question

[Martin Clifford]

Give this a whirl:

?php

$string = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz;
$len = strlen($string)  // in this case, 26

for($i=0; $i  $len; $i+8) {
   $str_array[] = substr($string, $i, 8);
}

for($i=0; $i  count($str_array); $i++) {
   echo $str_array[$i] . br\n;
}

?

I haven't tested it, but in theory it should find the length of the string (26), loop 
through it as long as $i is less than 26, incrementing 8 at a time.  Each time it goes 
through, $str_array[] is fed a new element, which is a substring of $string that 
starts at $i (0, 8, 16, 24, etc) and grabs 8 characters.  So here is how the data 
should be retrieved.

1st loop:  0-7 (8 elements)
2nd loop:  8-15 (8 elements)
3rd loop:  16-23 (8 elements)
4th loop:  24-26 (3 elements)

Let me know how it works out for you :o)

Hi Randy,

 Just copy the following code and execute it, it works as you
require, tested works fine.

?
$string=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz;
$length = strlen($string);  // Finds the length of the string
$octFull = round($length/8);// splits the length and finds how many
// times 8 occurs in the length
$intStart=0; //initilize the integer start to divided the string into 8's
// Loop to divide the $string into 8 and print them.
for($i =1;$i  $octFull+2;$i++)
{
  //gets the substring of the string with the length of 8
  $strDiv[$i] = substr($string,$intStart,8);

  //increment the start position to take the next 8 among the string
  $intStart = ($intStart+8);

  echo pstring$i : $strDiv[$i]/p;
}
?

Use number_format() :

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php

echo number_format($number);

Other options exist with this function, it's pretty useful.
