Re: [PHP] ereg help!
$out = basename($file, ".html") . ".com"; fairly limited i think, but simple. Nothing wrong with being simple, and therefore both fast and easy to understand by a wider audience. The only downer I can immediately think of though is that whitespace isn't accommodated, but who really ends a file name with white space? -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Switch to PCRE http://php.net/pcre

I haven't used ereg in so long, I can't answer this for ereg.
In PCRE, you use tack on 'U' after your end patter delimiter.
Thanks, I believe I do have pcre in my installation, and that
was my next target for investigation. As I turns out I got a
regex that works, albeit more complicated than (.*). See this

Re: [PHP] ereg() problem: solution
Hi
In reference to my query about 'greed' in regex in php and the following
code
$x = ereg("",
$get_route, $m);
I solved the immediate problem with the following:
as you can see, the regex is quite a bit more complicated and I
do not know if it will match all the possibilities that it will have to.
It looks like it should. one possibility that it is matching is just two
letters, in this case jk. The other possibility is u_ or au_ followed
by 8 randomly selected letters and/or numbers.
In short I was trying to be as simple and comprehensive as
possible with (.*) as the regular expression. But the idea of greed
came to mind when the match was containing far more than antic-
ipated. Greed is when the regular expression tries to match as much
as possible, in this case (.*) appears to be matching every instance of
anything and everything else in the way, so it ends up including the
entire balance of the line. A least that is my explanation. So I did
something more complicated to get what I wanted. Simplicity is not
always so simple.
Thanks for all responses.

You're double negating. You check the negative return of ereg() and ereg
checks for the pattern NOT existing.

Re: [PHP] ereg function
The ereg function doesn't have the capability to test the age of the
person viewing your page. You have to depend on them to input their
age in some way.
Your answer depends on how your age is submitted. Assuming it is
submited as $_POST['age'], you could perhaps use ereg("0*[7-9]$",
$_POST['age']) - that might work but I haven't used ereg - ever, I
perfer to use the faster PCRE regex functions, such as
preg_match("/^0*[7-9]$/", $_POST['age']); which will match any amount
of zeros, followed by anything between 7 and 9, ie 8,
008, or 08
Having all that said, I wouldn't use reges for smething like this.

Re: [PHP] ereg function
Numbers are pretty easy. You could just do: $age = (int)$_POST['age']; if($age > 9) do_something(); else do_something_else(); Using ereg doesn't make much sense in this case. -Rasmus On Fri, 31 Dec 2004, Michael Lutaaya wrote: > I want to validate someones age.

Never mind y'all ... me stupid ...
obviously the ( has meaning, and needs to be escaped ... was starting to
think it could only do 2 ereg's in 1 script *sigh*
Sorry for wasting time and bandwidth ... the function now looks like this
and works :
function gfx_smiley($text) {
$smiley_path = 'smiley';
$text = eregi_replace(':-?D','',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':-?\?','',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':'-?\(','',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':-?\(','',$text);
return $text;

Re: [PHP] ereg + performance problem
Hi,
I think that smarty [ http://smarty.php.net ] can do this for u. It
has tag nesting and, of course, you can define your own tag as a plugin.
As for performance problem - this is known "feature" of regexp. Solution
is not simple. You, IMHO, have to rethink your approach. For parsing
larger or complex files is much better to use state machine (finite
state automaton). Try to search google for more theory. For ex.

What I have in mind is something along the lines of:

The text between ANOTHERTAG would first be changed and then passed along

You can't use the character class "\s" within a range. And you need to
escape a few special characters. The working version should be:
$data = 'A Simple test.';
#if (ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9\s.\-_']+$", $data))

I'm very new to PHP, so I may be barking up the wrong tree, but what is
that "s" doing after the slash? I don't know if it's the cause of the
problem, but as far as I know it's superfluous.

by the way, it's to complicated. the brackets [ and ] are used for
cha-groups. you can leave them for only one char. so this would be the same:
"\\n" (you have to escape the backslash with a backslash)

Having read the whole thread it seems that you're only disclosing information when it's been totured out of you :) May I suggest that in order to save yourself and other people's time that you give FULL and ACCURATE information. For example, at the start of the thread you're pinning the blame on your ereg, then you're saying the session variable is the problem. Only after it has been pointed out to you that what you say you're doing cannot possibly have the effect that you say you're seeing, do you finally disclose that you're using trim() on the vital variables.

Just some more information. It appears that the session variable
$formsave["dob"] is causing the problem. If I echo the input $_POST['dob']
it shows correctly, but when it's put into $formsave["dob"] the leading and
ending 0's are being stripped.

$parts has been removed as I found I didn't need it there, but the problem
still exists. This part of code however may be causing the problem, although
I thought trim only stripped white space.?. $formsave['dob'] is a
session variable. I have also found now that leading 0's are also being
stripped.
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $varname => $value)
$formsave[$varname] = trim($value, 50);
If it's not there then the whole script fails.

So is $formsave['dob'] being changed before you get to this code,
causing the check to fail? What else are you doing with
$formsave['dob']? Nothing here is going to cause it to drop a zero from
the end.
Your code doesn't make much sense, though. If the ereg() fails, $parts
is not going to have any value, so why are you referencing $part[1],
$part[2], etc... ?

You're missing the "-1" part in your expression:
^ Your string begins
[A-H]* with no or more letters from A to H
([0-9]+)followed by one or more digits (grouped)
-followed by a dash
$ and the end or the string
Your pattern would match "C12-", but not "C12-1". If you only need the
"C12", your pattern should look something like
'^([A-H]*[0-9]+)-'
to return the complete letter/digit sequence at the beginning of the
string, up to (but not including) the dash. Omitting the '$' (string end)
character allows for anything after the dash.

Re: [PHP] ereg.
^ is only NOT when it's the first character within brackets, [ and ]. Also,
don't escape the $ at the end if you really want it to match the end of the
string. Right now your regular expression is matching a literal dollar sign.
As for the original question, it looks correct, providing you can have those
swedish characters in the brackets. What if you just simplify things and
make your ereg look to match a single one of those swedish chacters? Will it
validate correctly if that's all you pass? Play with taking them in and out

What you're doing is not particularly complicated and can be done using
str_replace().

I'm assuming that by Chars you mean uppercase/lowercase letters?
Numbers are characters too, I thought.
preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9%!:;,]{5,}[A-Za-z0-9]$/', $string);
The above regex will only match a string that begins with A-Z or a-z or
0-9, then any number of characters that are in the middle character
class, then a final A-Z or a-z or 0-9.
I think. Try it out, that's untested.

preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9%!:;,]{5,}[A-Za-z0-9]$/', $string);
The above regex will only match a string that begins with A-Z or a-z or
0-9, then any number of characters that are in the middle character
class, then a final A-Z or a-z or 0-9.
I think. Try it out, that's untested.

RE: [PHP] ereg-digits only...
That wouldn't work!
1) You meant to write: if (((int)$string==$string) && ($string>0))
2) (int)'5a' == 5, so this formula would result is 5a == 5!

Why not use the RE's? I usually use preg_* so I'll give the example
using these...
if (preg_match ("/^\d+$/", $string)) {
print ("Yep... Only digits.");
} else {
prnt ("Noop! There are non-digit characters...");
}

Re: [PHP] ereg et all - new question..
\\1, actually. \\0 refers to the entire source string, not just to the
part inside the parentheses... so I think it would put the bold tags
around the entire contents of $str, not just the "this" words.
At least, that's according to the source I'm using (_Professional PHP
Programming_ by Castagnetto, et al). YMMV, so you may wish to try it
both ways.

Sorry, that should be:
eregi_replace("(this)","\\1",$str);

Re: [PHP] ereg et all - new question..
Seems like that makes it a LOT easier.
Use eregi_relace() instead of ereg_replace(). eregi allows for
case-insensitivity.
Try
eregi_replace("this","\\1",$str);
That should do it, though I haven't tried it myself.

Maybe I better ask my question different... what i want to do is, to highlight certain text in a string... for example: "This equals this equals tHis..." has to become: "This equals this equals tHis"... so dispite the case, the 's should be put around it... does that make it easier? not for me :-) Greets, Edward - Original Message - From: "Jeff Sheltren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Edward van Bilderbeek - Bean IT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 11:06 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] ereg et all > Ahhh, ok makes more sense now.

Re: [PHP] ereg et all
Ahhh, ok makes more sense now. Although, I don't think that there is an "easy" way to do what you are asking. I think that in order to accomplish that, you will have to specify all possible cases of a string, and have a ereg_replace() statement for each of them.

Oh, that was a typo... sorry...
it should be:
"This equals this equals tHis" -> "That equals that equals tHat"

hi,
is there a simple way to replace an occurence of a string, into another,
maintaing capital positions...
Like:
$str = "This equals this equals tHis";
and I wanna replace all occurences of "this" in "that", that the result will
be:
$str = "That equals that equals That";

RE: [PHP] ereg
.*? is a Perl'ism and only supported by the preg* functions. Use
preg_match() instead of ereg() and it will work.

RE: [PHP] ereg
You should use preg_match_all() for this.
Something like this should do (didn't try it thou):
preg_match_all("|(.*)\">|U", $lineofhtml,
$output, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

This is my code :
ereg("(.*)", $lineofhtml, $output);
The problem is that, with (.*) it matches
everthing from the first to the last ... hence
it appears its all in one array... what I need to do is tell it to stop
at the first and I can't figure out how to do that... any
ideas?

Re: [PHP] ereg help
Something like this will work:
eregi("^id \{([a-z]*),([a-z]+),([a-z]+)\} \[(.+)\]$", $str, $regs);
$regs will be an array containing:
[0] => "id {name,title,nick} [http://www.php.net]";
[1] => "name"
[2] => "title"
[3] => "nick"
[4] => "http://www.php.net";
If course this isn't very foolproof or generic. For instance, this regex
assumes that you have exactly three comma-delimited substrings between
those curly braces and anything goes in the brackets. (It could be a URL,
but it could also be anything else.)
This is assuming there are three items between those curly braces, however.
To handle multiple configurations within the curly braces, you'd probably,
as the boundaries would cause items in the array to be overwritten during
matching. Something like this may work half-decent...
if (eregi("(id) \{(.*)\} \[(.*)\]$", $str, $regs))
{
$p[0] = $regs[1];
$p[1] = explode(",", $regs[2]);
$p[2] = $regs[3];
}
$p should now look like the following:
[0] => "id"
[1][0] => "name"
[1][1] => "title"
[1][2] => "nick" )
[2] => "http://www.php.net";
That should do it. Of course, the regex again isn't foolproof, as you could
have crazy stuff for a URL, and it doesn't bother to check if there's
anything after a comma in the curly braces, but will handle any number of
items between the braces, and it's enough to get you started.

RE: [PHP] ereg checking if its only numbers
With ereg it could be:
if(ereg(^[^[:digit:]]+$))
echo 'something else came through';
Untested though ...

Subject: [PHP] ereg checking if its only numbers
Ive been playing around with ereg for about half an hour and having no joy
because I dont really understand the medhod behind it and how it all works.
But what im trying to do is check to see if a 9 digit string is all numbers
and nothing else
$string1 = "123456789"
$string2 = "123456abc"
how would I check either string with an IF statement and make it continue
on string 1 (ie, all numbers) and error on string 2 (not all numbers).
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Chris

Re: [PHP] ereg question
Hello, check it in the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php If you don't pass the third -- optional -- argument, then it's true. Otherwise not. I don't know this book, but you may keep in my mind that PHP is evolving, so the online manual can be its most up-to-date documentation. - Original Message - From: js <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2001 3:05 AM Subject: [PHP] ereg question > In the Leon Atkinson Core PHP book, in his ereg example he states that ereg > will only return the first match on a line.

Re: [PHP] ereg()
You could try fgets from the fp instead of fread. Then for each line depending
on how well structured it is you have a variety of options, but i think this
would be at least a good start:
www.php.net/preg_split - split on multiple spaces - \s+

Actually, you're checking whethere the variable is a single-character
string a-zA-Z. For what you want:
ereg("^[a-zA-Z]+$", $fname); //add plus sign
Note also that although the docs imply that ereg() returns an integer
value, it says further down "Returns true if a match for pattern was found
in string, or false if no matches were found or an error occurred." In my
experience, boolean values don't echo well. Try this instead:
if(ereg("^[a-zA-Z]+$", $fname))
{
echo "Passed!\n";
}
else
{
echo "Failed. Enter a different value.\n";
}
