RE: [PHP] I suck at regular expressions!

2001-11-15 Thread Brian Paulson

Been Using this Function for some time and works real well with two
exceptions

1. if the title line has a CR in it it will no get the title 
Example: titleThis is a bad
Title/title

2. If there are any other   tags in the title it will fail.

?
function title($file) 
{ 
$loc = /path/to/file;
if(is_file($loc/$file))
{
$open=fopen($loc/$file,r); 
 while(!feof($open)) 
   {
$line=fgets($open,1000); // this is set large due to some of
the long title we have
   $string = $line;
 while ( eregi( 'headline([^]*)/headline(.*)', $string,
$regs ) )
   {
   $string = $regs[2];
}
}  
 return $regs[1];   
}
} 
?

Subject: [PHP] I suck at regular expressions!


I am trying to get the title of an html file... you know, the string 
between the  title  and  /title  tags...

Here is the function I've got so far:

function fileTitle($fileName) {
 $myFile = fopen($fileName, r);
 $myText=;
 while (!feof($myFile)) {
 $myText .= fgets($myFile,255);
 }
 fclose($myFile);
 if (eregi(TITLE(.+)/TITLE,$myText,$theTitle)) return 
$theTitle[0];
 else return (No Title);
}

The trouble is, it always returns (No Title), regardless of whether
the 
file has a title defined in the header or not.

I suspect I'm doing something fundamentally wrong.  Can anyone set me
straight?

RE: [PHP] I suck at regular expressions! -- not as bad, now

2001-11-15 Thread Richard S. Crawford



Thanks to everyone who helped me figure this out.

I foolishly didn't realize that I was using the htmlspecialchars() function 
on the string that I was pulling from the file, but not accounting for that 
in the regexp.  So, what I was getting was:

 lt;titlegt;BLAH BLAH BLAHlt;/titlegt;

but what I was trying to find was:

  title BLAH BLAH BLAH /title 

It's all good now.
