Re: [PHP] ereg help!
$out = basename($file, .html) . .com; fairly limited i think, but simple. Nothing wrong with being simple, and therefore both fast and easy to understand by a wider audience. The only downer I can immediately think of though is that whitespace isn't accommodated, but who really ends a file name with white space? -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

would like to take this one step further and replace the .html extension
with .com so it winds up being:
website.com instead of website.html
I am apparently having problems getting my head around eregi enough to
acomplish this.
any help is greatly appreciated.

I usually use preg_* functions so here's my go:
echo preg_replace('/\.php$/', '.com', $file);
The '$' at the end makes sure it's a .php file and won't cause problems

Re: [PHP] ereg() problem: solution
Hi
In reference to my query about 'greed' in regex in php and the following
code
$x = ereg(route name='$to' x='\.\./(.*)/in' rec='.*' /,
$get_route, $m);
I solved the immediate problem with the following:
route name='$to' x='\.\./([a-z]{2}|a?u_[0-9a-z]{8})/in' rec='.*' /
as you can see, the regex is quite a bit more complicated and I
do not know if it will match all the possibilities that it will have to.
It looks like it should. one possibility that it is matching is just two
letters, in this case jk. The other possibility is u_ or au_ followed
by 8 randomly selected letters and/or numbers.
In short I was trying to be as simple and comprehensive as
possible with (.*) as the regular expression. But the idea of greed
came to mind when the match was containing far more than antic-
ipated. Greed is when the regular expression tries to match as much
as possible, in this case (.*) appears to be matching every instance of
anything and everything else in the way, so it ends up including the
entire balance of the line. A least that is my explanation. So I did
something more complicated to get what I wanted. Simplicity is not
always so simple.
Thanks for all responses.
JK

One more in my recent woes. The last elseif does not work in the code below

remove everything else and just have the ereg satement is doesn't work
either.
The code below is in a function and $_POST['password1'] is passed to the
function.
$field = password1; //Use field name for password
if(!$subpass){
$form-setError($field, Password not entered);
}
elseif(strlen($subpass) 6) {

You're double negating. You check the negative return of ereg() and ereg
checks for the pattern NOT existing.

Re: [PHP] ereg function
The ereg function doesn't have the capability to test the age of the person viewing your page. You have to depend on them to input their age in some way. Your answer depends on how your age is submitted. Assuming it is submited as $_POST['age'], you could perhaps use ereg(0*[7-9]$, $_POST['age']) - that might work but I haven't used ereg - ever, I perfer to use the faster PCRE regex functions, such as preg_match(/^0*[7-9]$/, $_POST['age']); which will match any amount of zeros, followed by anything between 7 and 9, ie 8, 008, or 08 Having all that said, I wouldn't use reges for smething like this.

echo ww = .$regs. brbr;
i'm trying to figure out how to get the portion of the regex that's the

extension should be in the $reg array

I need to replace :'( and :'-( ... or as they look in the post after being
entered through htmlentities with ent_quotes on:
:#039;(
:#039;-(
this causes the entire message to disappear:
$text = ereg_replace(':#039;-?(','img src='.$smiley_path.'/crying.gif
alt=:#039;( width=25 height=15 align=absmiddle',$text);
only the format of the search part differs from my other smiley
replacements, so obviously that's where the problem is ... afaik, neither
, # or ; have any meaning in regex, so I don't get what causes it ... I've
tried escaping all of those chars, and it still causes $text to come back
empty...
any ideas will be highly appreciated...
TIA

While(list($index,$hits)=each($found))

Returns

Am I doing something wrong with my regex or is there a problem here.
What I need is all the dollar amounts pulled out (with a negative sign
if there).

Re: [PHP] ereg + performance problem
Hi,
I think that smarty [ http://smarty.php.net ] can do this for u. It
has tag nesting and, of course, you can define your own tag as a plugin.
As for performance problem - this is known feature of regexp. Solution
is not simple. You, IMHO, have to rethink your approach. For parsing
larger or complex files is much better to use state machine (finite
state automaton). Try to search google for more theory. For ex.

You can't use the character class \s within a range. And you need to
escape a few special characters. The working version should be:

[PHP] ereg() can't recognize characters such as èéêë...
Hi list,
I read through the manual and tried to find something on google, but I
didn't come to anything useful.
It seems that the ereg()-family (I tried ereg(), eregi() and ereg_replace())
can't recognize any special characters such as èéêë etc. I tested this :
?php
print
(ereg([[:alnum:][:alpha:][:blank:][:cntrl:][:digit:][:graph:][:lower:][:pri
nt:][:punct:][:space:][:upper:][:xdigit:]],é));
?
and it returned a blank screen. When I fill in a regular character such as
'e' or a slash or whatever, it returns 1. I ran into this when I tested a
script which should replace '{PMID[PubMed ID number]:[First author's name]}
into a link to the article online. For instance, {PMID12632325:Flanigan}
results in A
href=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieveamp;db=PubM
edamp;dopt=Abstractamp;list_uids=12632325 target=_blankFlanigan/A.
This worked all fine, until an author's name was Müller. Then my
ereg_replace() failed (below). Any ideas?
?php
$val = ereg_replace({PMID([[:alnum:]. _-]*):([[:alnum:]. _-]*)}, A
href=\http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieveamp;db=Pub
Medamp;dopt=Abstractamp;list_uids=\\1\
target=\_blank\\\2/A,{PMID11519736:Müller});
print ($val);
?

So now you have to escape the escaped escape, to get: n Which passes \\n as the regexp, which does indeed match a literal \n ! Another way to go is to use single quotes around the regexp, since a single-quoted string does not interpret \-expressions (except for \', of course!) -- so this is the same regexp as above: '\\n' I know which I prefer, but YMMV of course!

RE: [PHP] Ereg question
I am using ereg to validate the format of a date entry (mm/dd/yy), but
if
the year ends in a 0, it is being stripped and as such produces an
error.
So
1990 would be 199. The dob is being inputted by a form
Here is my code:
if (!ereg(^([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})$, $formsave[dob],
$parts))
{
$error[dob] = *; $message[dob] = Invalid date format!;
$dob = \$parts[3]-$parts[2]-$parts[1]\;
}
So is $formsave['dob'] being changed before you get to this code,
causing the check to fail? What else are you doing with
$formsave['dob']? Nothing here is going to cause it to drop a zero from
the end.
Your code doesn't make much sense, though. If the ereg() fails, $parts
is not going to have any value, so why are you referencing $part[1],
$part[2], etc... ?

Re: [PHP] Ereg question
$parts has been removed as I found I didn't need it there, but the problem
still exists. This part of code however may be causing the problem, although
I thought trim only stripped white space.?. $formsave['dob'] is a
session variable. I have also found now that leading 0's are also being
stripped.
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $varname = $value)
$formsave[$varname] = trim($value, 50);
If it's not there then the whole script fails.

Re: [PHP] Ereg question
Just some more information. It appears that the session variable
$formsave[dob] is causing the problem. If I echo the input $_POST['dob']
it shows correctly, but when it's put into $formsave[dob] the leading and
ending 0's are being stripped.

Thus it will match a period, but also a #, a @, and everything that's not allowed in the planned regex. By escaping the period you're changing the meaning from any character to or a period (in this context) so I believe that's what you want to do. -- O Ernest E.

You're missing the -1 part in your expression:
^ Your string begins
[A-H]* with no or more letters from A to H
([0-9]+)followed by one or more digits (grouped)
-followed by a dash
$ and the end or the string
Your pattern would match C12-, but not C12-1. If you only need the
C12, your pattern should look something like
'^([A-H]*[0-9]+)-'
to return the complete letter/digit sequence at the beginning of the
string, up to (but not including) the dash. Omitting the '$' (string end)
character allows for anything after the dash.

Re: [PHP] ereg.

As for the original question, it looks correct, providing you can have those
swedish characters in the brackets. What if you just simplify things and
make your ereg look to match a single one of those swedish chacters? Will it
validate correctly if that's all you pass? Play with taking them in and out
and see what works.

As for the original question, it looks correct, providing you can have
those
swedish characters in the brackets. What if you just simplify things and
make your ereg look to match a single one of those swedish chacters? Will
it
validate correctly if that's all you pass? Play with taking them in and
out
and see what works.

[PHP] Ereg headache: got an Aspirin
Finally, I found y answer to my ereg/grep question. Thanks to all those who took a stab at it. You led me to the answer. For all those interested in reg-parsing comma-delimited lists, here is what I searched for: '^INPUT TYPE = \HIDDEN\ NAME = \numbers\ VALUE = \[0-9,\]*[\,] . $numbertosearch . [\,][0-9,\]*$' It was much simpler than I thought it would be. Thanks again! __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus Powerful. Affordable.

[PHP] Ereg headache
I have a real problem that I can't seem to figure out. I need an ereg pattern to search for a certain string (below). All this is being shelled to a Unix grep command because I'm looking this up in very many files. I've made myself a INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN tag that contains in the value attribute a list of comma-delimited numbers. I need to find if a certain number is in these tags (and each file contains one tag). I need an ereg statement that will let me search these lines to see if a number exists, obviously in the beginning or the end or the middle or if it's the only number in the list. Here's what I mean (searching for number 1): INPUT TYPE = HIDDEN NAME = numbers VALUE = 1,2,3,4,5 //beginning INPUT TYPE = HIDDEN NAME = numbers VALUE = 0,1,2,3,4,5 //middle INPUT TYPE = HIDDEN NAME = numbers VALUE = 5,4,3,2,1 //end INPUT TYPE = HIDDEN NAME = numbers VALUE = 1 //only This is frustrating me, because each solution I come up with doesn't work. Here is my grep/ereg statement so far: $commanumberbeginning = [[0-9]+,]*; //this allows 0 or more numbers before it, and if there are any, they must have 1 or more digits followed by a comma $commanumberend = [,[0-9]+]*; // this allows 0 or more numbers after it, and if there are any, they must have a comma followed by 1 or more digits $ereg-statement=$commanumberbeginning . $numbertosearchfor . $commanumberbeginning; //$numbertosearchfor will be obtained through a select control in a form grep 'INPUT TYPE = HIDDEN NAME = numbers VALUE = $ereg-statement' *.html This problem is kicking my butt.

[PHP] ereg
Hoping someone can help me here. I'm working with someone else's code and I'm not familiar with ereg_replace(), can someone provide me an alternative to the following? ereg_replace([^a-z0-9._], , ereg_replace ( , _, ereg_replace(%20, _, strtolower($original_name; Basically, I want to enter $original_name and have it come out $new_name, converting all spaces to underscores, upper to lowercase, and whatever that first line does. :) I've read through the manual and what I got was that preg_replace() is probably faster... Anyhow, I looked up preg_replace() and as a newbie to PHP, the given examples look like a language all their own.

RE: [PHP] ereg() not matching same text each time script is run...
Someone gave me the preg_match equivalent
preg_match( '/([-_a-z]+)\.([a-z]+)$/i', $row['site'], $match2 );
I tried that and it took care of the problem, as far as I can tell.
To me, that narrows it down to a problem (bug?) with ereg... anyone else
have any ideas?

I'm assuming that by Chars you mean uppercase/lowercase letters?
Numbers are characters too, I thought.
preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9%!:;,]{5,}[A-Za-z0-9]$/', $string);
The above regex will only match a string that begins with A-Z or a-z or
0-9, then any number of characters that are in the middle character
class, then a final A-Z or a-z or 0-9.
I think. Try it out, that's untested.

That wouldn't work!
1) You meant to write: if (((int)$string==$string) ($string0))
2) (int)'5a' == 5, so this formula would result is 5a == 5!

Subject: [PHP] ereg-digits only...
How do I check a string for it to only contain numbers?
if(!ereg(([0-9]+),$string)){
print It contains characters other than numbers;
}else{
print Only numbers;
}
Can anyone give some feedback...
regards,
Bart

[PHP] ereg et all
hi, is there a simple way to replace an occurence of a string, into another, maintaing capital positions...

Re: [PHP] ereg et all
I'm not sure why you wanted the last word tHis to be changed to That (with a capital)... can you explain further?

Re: [PHP] ereg et all
Ahhh, ok makes more sense now. Although, I don't think that there is an easy way to do what you are asking. I think that in order to accomplish that, you will have to specify all possible cases of a string, and have a ereg_replace() statement for each of them.
