Hi Daniel,
do you work with a self compiled or width a distributions one?. The
failure is in the function
 zend_str_tolower(function_name_copy.value.str.val,
function_name_copy.value.str.len);

I think, if you have a self compiled or experimental version and you are
sure, that this is a bug, please place it into PHP Bugtracker. If you
are not sure, if this is a bug, becouse you change the source code or
use experimental code, use a distribution.

Just use the proper escaping and save what is received:
example:  mysql_real_escape_string() or a addcslashes() for DBs without
a comparable function or preg_replace() for those that escape differently:

If you definitely don't want certain things then strip them:
striptags()

If you may need it then leave it.

Depends on whether you want to render HTML.  If so, and you can trust it
(you or a trusted source entered it) then do nothing.  Otherwise if you
want to show the HTML as source tags then:
htmlentities()

If you don't want it then strip it before insert or when displaying,
your call:
striptags()

>

The textarea prevents HTML inside from being rendered and the form
submit should automatically URL encode the data in the textarea so I
don't see the need to do anything.

Encode the values that you intend to pass:
urlencode()

>

If you want to maybe show some HTML as source tags then:
htmlentities()

If you don't want HTML then strip it when displaying:
striptags()

Same as #4.

BTW, these are very nice for working with data:

filter_var()
filter_var_array()
filter_input()
filter_input_array()

Doesn't strpos(' ',$string,76) look for the first space to the *right*

I really don't know how to do this except by exploding the string and

I am receiving this error:

I have never seen it before, what do I do?  I made one change to it though, you 
didn’t have  in it before so I changed the syntax to:

$pos = (strpos(' ', $activity_description_result, 
76))?strpos('',$activity_description_result, 
76):strlen($activity_description_result);

[PHP] Re: string problem

[Rafael]

	Well, if that's the pattern, you can search for >'%< and return 
anything between this and >%'<; if you can use PCRE try something like

  if ( preg_match('/'%(.+?)%'/X', $str, $matches) ) {
  echo  $matches[1];
  }
Now, if the expression can only have: upper-case letters, numbers & "-", 
then use  "/'%([-A-Z0-9]+)%'/X"  instead of  "/'%(.+?)%'/X"

Well... slightly.

preg_match( '#^(+)/p(.+)/o(.+)$#',
preg_replace('#^(.+)(/o.+)(/p.+)$#', '$1$3$2', $html), $reg);

text1 /ptext2 /otext3

Does it always look like that?
text1(whitespace)/ptext2(whitespace)/otext3


The ideea is to extract the texts before and between /o and /p.
$html = "asdäüü ö ö vf /pxtestxx/ostestss";
eregi("^([^/.*]*)", $html, $reg); print_r($reg); //text is in reg[1]
eregi("^(.*)/p([^/.*]*)", $html, $reg); print_r($reg); //text is in reg[2]
eregi("^(.*)/o([^/.*]*)", $html, $reg); print_r($reg); //text is in reg[2]


This example works, but I thought there might be a better way to extract the
texts, with a single ereg or preg_match.

I don't think so. If I'm reading your code correctly you still have
the same problem, as I outlined above. There is no simple solution to
this. It either involves advanced regex(more advanced than my

Hmmm, that would solve the above specific mentioned problem. how about

You can use str_replace to "highlight" the search terms.

For example, you could use the following code for each search term (this
function also accepts arrays, see http://php.net/str_replace):

str_replace ($search_term, "$search_term", $body_text);



Bad idea. Very bad idea.

for example ( using bold to highlight ):
I want to hightlight the word body in this text.
";
$search = "body";

$output = str_replace($search, "$search", $html);
// $output == "I want to hightlight the word
body in this text. body>";

// see what I mean?
?>


Good catch Rory.  A regex replace would work better here.

$search = "body";
$find = "/\b" . $search . "\b/";
preg_replace ( $find, "" . $search . "", $html );



I don't think so. If I'm reading your code correctly you still have
the same problem, as I outlined above. There is no simple solution to


John is using \b in his regexp to denote a word boundary - I don't believe
< counts as a boundary char therefore niether '' or ''
would be preg_replace()'d


this. It either involves advanced regex(more advanced than my
understanding of it), or a proper parser.

  $str = get_text_between_certain_point_and_first_instance_of_<($i); 
  $str = preg_replace(what john said above);

  $str .= get_tag_text($i);
  $retval .= $str;
  $i += strlen($str);
}

return $retval;
?>

if I were Richard Lynch I would mention that you probably want to backslash
your backslashes:

$find = "/\\b" . $search . "\\b/";

but then again if I were Richard Lynch I would probably assume that John Nichel
knows that kind of thing, therefore I would not bother mentioning it, or
would I?

what would Richard Lynch say?

(no offence Richard!, Im just being playful :-)
(btw Richard is right about the backslashing!)


preg_replace ( $find, "" . $search . "", $html );

there's other funcs for that kind of thing. It's just that all I'm trying to do is

Use substr_replace() and set the length value to 0.  Here's an example:

$text = "Thistext";
echo "$text";
$text = substr_replace($text, " ", 4, 0);
echo $text;
Test it and you will see that a space is added into the text without 
replacing any of it.

You'd be better off with:

$string = substr( $string, 0, -1 );

to avoid unnecessary interpolation overhead.

"Hello World" to "Hello Worl"

Thanks in advance.
this might work, haven't tested it...
second param is optional
function chop($strSubject, $intWastage = 1) {
  $strRes = "";
  $len = strlen($strSubject);
  if($intWastage <= $len && $intWastage >= ($len * (-1)))
$strRes = substr($strSubject,0,$len - $intWastage);
  return $strRes;

Something like this?

$address = explode( '@', $_POST['email'] );
if ( $address[1] == 'test.com' )
echo 'Valid';
else
echo 'Not valid';

or:

if ( preg_match( '/.*@test\.com$/', $_POST['email'] ) )
echo 'Valid';
else
echo 'Not valid';

$_POST['email'] contains the email address, submitted by the form.

If you use Metabase it allows you to create prepared queries where you 
can pipe data from blob returned by a select query to a blob to be 
updated or inserted by another query, with minimal memory usage, thus 
allowing to manipulate large sized blobs.

Metabase is a database independent abstraction layer so it works with 
many supported databases:

[PHP] Re: string...

[Michael Virnstein]

beware if you're using preg_match instead.
regex using preg_match have to be enclosed by /
so the same with preg_match would look like:
preg_match("/^.*_[0-9]{4}\.jpg$/i", $file_name)
and using preg_match meens that / is a special character and has to be
backslashed if
wanted by it's meening. and there's nothing like preg_matchi to check
case-insensitive.
this has to be done using modifiers after the ending /. in the example above
it's i for case-insensitive.

[PHP] Re: string...

[Michael Virnstein]

wrong again:
eregi("^/*_[0-9]{4}\.jpg$", $file_name)

now yo say, / at the beginning between 0 and unlimited times, the rest is
ok.

try this, i rechecked my second example and saw that i did a \. at the
beginning. this was wrong,
because it'll search for a dot at the beginning. simply forget about the
backslash before the first dot.
This should finally work:
eregi("^.*_[0-9]{4}\.jpg$", $file_name)

. is a special character and meens every character. so if you want . by it's
meening you have to
backslash it: \.
so what my ereg meens now, is the following:
any character at the beginning between 0 and unlimited times, followed by an
_, followed
by 4 characters between 0 and 9 followed by a dot, followed by jpg which has
to be at the end of the string.

In this respect, PHP is not like C. Strings are defines within quotes, 
single or double depending on the circumstances. So \0 does not define 
the end of a string.

hehe... that's what regular expressions are for.

they work great everywhere... 

if you dont like "overdoing it", you might as well loop

[PHP] RE: string search

[Joseph Bannon]

Will this work?

$string = "http://www.aol.com/";;

if (ereg ("^aol.com^", $string) {
}
else {
}

[Steve Brett]

have a look at ereg() (regular expression match)  functions in manual.
they'll do exactly what you want.

Try researching regular expressions. In PHP, look at the preg and ereg 
groups of functions.

RE: [PHP] Re: string formatting help

[Chad Day]

Yeah, I was seeing them.  And when I stripped them out and replaced them
with white space, it still broke in those places, it'd look like:

kdjsakdasja

dsakjaskjsa


dsakaskj

But I got it fixed..

$RESPONSE = addslashes($row[RESPONSE]);
$OVERLIBBED = str_replace(chr(13), "", $RESPONSE);
$OVERLIBBED = str_replace(chr(10), "", $OVERLIBBED);

is what worked for me ..

Thanks all,
Chad

In the original message below, did you mean that you're actually
SEEING the  tags in the output? If so, there may be a conversion
with htmlentities() going on somewhere that converts the  tags to
<br> (so they are displayed instead of being interpreted).

If you replaced the 's with spaces or newlines, the output
_should_ all be on one line, since HTML considers ALL strings of
whitespace (tabs, newlines, returns, spaces) to be a single space. If
you replaced 's with newlines and you are getting the line breaks
still, your output may be in a ... block.

Or, more compactly:

echo str_replace('', '', $string);

This would only work if tags were lowercased; to handle mixed case,
you'd need to do

echo eregi_replace('', '', $string);

or use the preg equivalent

  Maybe:

$array = explode("", $string);

foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
echo "$value";
}

  Would separate the string by 's and print all in one line.
