I have an array that's created as follows:
$string = "73G 146C 311- 309.1C";
$arr = preg_split("/[\s]+/", $string);
Now I need to take each element in that array, and break them up even
further so that I get:
73G => "73" and "G"
146C => "146" and "C"
311- => "311" and "-"
309.1C => "309", "1", and "C" (notice 3 elements here)
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the proper regex would be
for this, or whether that's the right thing to do. So far I've gotten this:
preg_match("/^(?P<location>\d+)(?P<letter>[A-Z-])/", $item, $matches);
print_r($matches);
Which gives me:
Array
(
[0] => 73G
[location] => 73
[1] => 73
[letter] => G
[2] => G
)
Array
(
[0] => 146C
[location] => 146
[1] => 146
[letter] => C
[2] => C
)
Array
(
[0] => 311-
[location] => 311
[1] => 311
[letter] => -
[2] => -
)
Array
(
)
However that's as far as it goes. For the other number it returns an empty
array and I know why, the decimal point. Now I can evaluate each $item
every time, see if they contain a decimal point, and pass it to a different
regex string, but that seems rather inefficient to me. So how can I do this
all in one fell swoop?
Anyone want to take a stab at it?

or w/ preg_match_all:
<?php
$regex = '/(([0-9]+)([^0-9])((?:[0-9]|\s+)))/';
$string = "73G 146C 311- 309.1C";
preg_match_all( $regex , $string , $matches );
print_r( $matches )

Do something like this:
$tonames = (is_array($tonames) ? $tonames : array($tonames) );
$toemails = (is_array($toemails) ? $toemails : array($toemails));

function send( $tonames , $toemails , $subject , $message )
{
$tonames = (array)$tonames;
$toemails = (array)$toemails;
}
type juggling is a wonderful thing ;)

Hello everyone,
It's quite simple but I'm still stuck.
What I need is the following: I have an array as a parameter of my
custom function. However, I'd like to allow users to enter a string
instead of an array. In this case (if the parameter is a string), it
must be replaced with an array containing only one item - actually,
that string.
What I'm doing gives me (presumably) errors;
function Send ($tonames, $toemails, $subject, $message) {
...
if ((!is_array($tonames)) || (!is_array($toemails))) {
$tonames[]=$tonames;
$toemails[]=$toemails;
}
I can't give the new array a new name since I address it further in a
loop as my function's parameter... hope you understand what I'm
saying)
Thanks!
function send( $tonames , $toemails , $subject , $message )
{
$tonames = (array)$tonames;
$toemails = (array)$toemails;
}

Yeah this i the best. It will allow the users to enter a string or an
array without affecting processing of your function.

Hi all,
I want to be able to have an array of elements of different types. As an
example: the first element is a boolean, the second is an integer, and the
thirs is a string.
In php there is no typing, i'm just wondering if there is a way to have that,
it would be a lot better than having an array of strings and have to convert
each element.
Thank you

var_dump( array( true , 12 , "php already does this" ) );
array(3) {
[0]=> bool(true)
[1]=> int(12)
[2]=> string(21) "php already does this"
}

Yeah. But this feature of PHP is a boon if used carefully and a curse if
careless. You can get AMAZING results if you're not careful to check the
data types ;)

Hi gang:
Here's the problem.
I have 184 HTML pages in a directory and each page contain a
question. The question is noted in the HTML DOM like so:
<p class="question">
Who is Roger Rabbit?
</p>
My question is -- how can I extract the string "Who is Roger Rabbit?"
from each page using php? You see, I want to store the questions in a
database without having to re-type, or cut/paste, each one.
Now, I can extract each question by using javascript --
document.getElementById("question").innerHTML;
-- and stepping through each page, but I don't want to use javascript for this.
I have not found/created a working example of this using PHP. I tried
using PHP's getElementByID(), but that requires the target file to be
valid xml and the string to be contained within an ID and not a
class. These pages do not support either requirement.
Additionally, I realize that I can load the files and parse out what
is between the <p> tags, but I was hoping for a "GetElementByClass"
way to do this.
So, is there one?
Thanks,
tedd
