I just realized I neglected to explain a couple of things here, sorry...
My method will only work for the FIRST occurrence of the div tag pair in
$source_html.
The reason this method works is that you are telling preg_replace to replace
everything that matches the match pattern, with just what is contained in the
third atom of the match pattern. Since we are matching everything between the
start of $source_html and the end of $source_html (the (.*?) atom at the
beginning, and the (.*?)^ atom at the end) your return value ends up being $3,
or the contents of the third atom of the match pattern, which represents the
text between the opening tag and closing tag of your div element.
hope this makes sense, I'm writing this at 5am heh
Cheers,
Michael

The example provided didn't work for me. It gave me the same string without
anything modified.
I am also looking for this solution to strip out text from some XML response
I get from posting data to a remote server. I can do it using substring
functions but I'd like something more compact and portable. (A one-liner
that I could modify for other uses as well)
Example 1:
<someXMLtags>
<status>16664 Rejected: Invalid LTV</status>
</someXMLtags>
Example 2:
<someXMLtags>
<status>Unable to Post, Invalid Information</status>
</someXMLtags>
I want what is inside the <status> tags.
Does anyone have a working solution how we can get the text from inside
these tags using regex?
Much appreciated,
B

If you didn't say "using regex" this is how I'd do it (untested, forgive typos
and such..ripped from some code I actively use and stripped down):
<?PHP
$_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER,
'xml_response_open_element_function', 'xml_response_close_element_function');
xml_set_character_data_handler($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER,
'xml_response_handle_character_data');
xml_parse($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER, $_XML_RESPONSE, strlen($_XML_RESPONSE));
xml_parser_free($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER);
~
$FoundStatusTag = false;
~
function xml_response_open_element_function($p, $element, $attributes) {
global $FoundStatusTag;
~~
if (strtoupper($element) == "STATUS") $FoundStatusTag = true;
}
~
function xml_response_close_element_function($p, $element){
global $FoundStatusTag;
~
// do nothing special for now
}
~
function xml_response_handle_character_data($p, $cdata){
global $FoundStatusTag;
~
if ($FoundStatusTag) {
echo $cdata;
$FoundStatusTag = false;
}
}
?>

You are absolutely correct, this is what I get for not testing it explicitly :(
My most sincere apologies to the OP and the list, there is an error in my
example (see below for correction)

The End of string symbol ^ should not be included. I tested the above function
without the ^ and it worked for me. below is the TESTED version:
$trans_text = preg_replace("/(.*?)(<div id=result_box
dir=ltr>)(.*?)(<\/div>)(.*?)/s","$3",$source_html);

The End of string symbol ^ should not be included. I tested the above function
without the ^ and it worked for me. below is the TESTED version:

I have a simple helloWorld example in a xmlrpc version.

"signature" => $getnamelength_sig2,
"docstring" => $getnamelength_doc2));
$server = new XML_RPC_Server($map,0,1);
$server->service();
What is wrong in this very simple example?
Thanks a lot,

Hi guys,
I have a sample string "[hp-ex][log]peter[hall o]" that I need to process. I
need to remove the [] and separate the sections with a space. If there are
more then one [] part the first part should be bold (add <b></b> around it).
I have a solution that is working very well, but am thinking that I can do
this with preg_replace directly, what do you think? The final output is
always found in $thestr. Can all this be done with one preg_replace?
<?php
echo "<pre>";
$str = "[hp-ex][log]peter[hall o]";
preg_match_all("/\[(.+?)\]/", $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);
$m1 = $matches[0];
$m2 = $matches[1];
if(count($m1)>1) {
$m2[0] = "<b>$m2[0]</b>";
$thestr = implode(" ", $m2);
} elseif(count($m1)==1) {
$thestr = $m2[0];
} else $thestr = "";
echo $thestr;
echo "</pre>";
?>

the zip extension is only available in php5.2 (or installable via
pecl).
another option would to use the exec() function to make a call to
gunzip in order to unpack the contents of the zip file.
a truely poorman's alternative would be to offer multiple FILE input
fields on the relevant page and check which one's are not empty when
the submission occurs.
lastly there are custom (usually java based) browser plugins capable
of providing uploads-on-steriods - obviously there would a purchasing cost
involved and more than likely you will be requried to implement something
server side to complete the functionality.

there is no reason for checking each input.
Take a look at my earlier questions with the subject "A general UL script" and
the replies with various ppl here 'bout the use of $_FILES.
This way it will check anything listed in the file(s) input of form(s).

Yes, you would need to have several INPUT TYPE="FILE" browse buttons.
Also I have seen a application (written with MS tools) that allows
user to
upload a zip file containing images and the zip is automatically
uncompressed to a server disk. Can this be done with PHP also?
Yes.
http://php.net/zip
the zip extension is only available in php5.2 (or installable via
pecl).
Just to let you know, you can read and unzip with v4.x but it has to be
compiled in.
So, you would be able to READ a zip archive, but not WRITE one.
PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, and PECL is required
another option would to use the exec() function to make a call to
gunzip in order to unpack the contents of the zip file.

There is also the pear class:
http://pear.php.net/package/File_Archive
No idea about what requirements that has, just another option. :)

Hi
Sorry if this is considered off topic, but do you know of any code
examples/libs with a flash/php file uploader with progress bar?
I've googled for a while but the scripts I find won't work. I'm using
Firefox 2 and Flash player 9 on an intel Mac if that tells you anything?
Or should I ask somewhere else?
Thanks for your time.
Emil

The problem with having a "real" progress bar with PHP is that by default
PHP does not have a callback function so you won't know the status of the
uploaded file until it's complete.
One way of overcoming this is to use a combination of AJAX+Perl/CGI instead
of PHP. (Most LAMP servers can also run CGI scripts)
An example of an upload progress bar written in AJAX+CGI is Filechucker. Our
company purchased a license for use on one of our sites, its cheap and works
great.
I have also seen custom PHP extensions that add the callback method, but
they require you to recompile PHP and in the end we decided to go with the
CGI solution as it was pretty much plug and play.

HI Guys and Gals,
Has anyone used PHP Dig lately?
Is the new version any better than it used to be?
