[PHP] take text before '-' and after it
How can I take some text before the mark - and after it and put them for example in array. The purpose of this is to read trough mp3 files which are in the form of artist - song.mp3 and put them into a text file so I can put them into mysql db. antti -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Wouldn't it be simpler to just remove the '-'? $var = str_replace(-,,$var); Ed On Thu, 12 Dec 2002, Antti wrote: How can I take some text before the mark - and after it and put them for example in array.

You can use split() or explode(). $string = 1234-5467 ; list( $before_dash, $after_dash ) = explode( -, $string ) ; or $array = explode( -, $string ) ; On Thu, 12 Dec 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wouldn't it be simpler to just remove the '-'? $var = str_replace(-,,$var); Ed On Thu, 12 Dec 2002, Antti wrote: How can I take some text before the mark - and after it and put them for example in array.

The thing is to read the files and put the values into an array. but I don't know how to do it...? antti -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] take text before '-' and after it
$song = They Might Be Giants - No!.mp3
$arr = explode(' - ', $song);
$length = strlen($arr[1]); // gets char length of song
$artist = $arr[0];
$song = substr($arr[1], 0, ($length-4); // deletes the .mp3 off of song name
Cheers!

Hi,
?
$file = Some Artist - Some Song.mp3;
list($artist,$song) = explode('-',$file);
$artist = trim($artist);
$song = trim(str_replace('.mp3','',$song));
?
Then you can do whatever you want with them... but I can't see why you'd
write them to a disk file AND write them to a mysql database -- wouldn't it
be one or the other?
