I would like to compare a text from its textarea with a come-separated keyword list and trigger a specific action if one or more hits are found.
Unfortunately, my script only works to a limited extent and triggers my function even if a character string, e.g. B. "ee" or "work" is identified.
Example for the keyword list:
"FREE Shipping,times,50% OFF,Backpack,Marketing,working,Owner,CEO"
Example of a text from the textarea:
"it seems that the function is not working correctly"
$messageTemp = explode(",",$GLOBALS['Message']);
foreach ($messageTemp as $valueK) {
if (preg_match("~\b(.+)$valueK\b~",$GLOBALS['Keyword']) !== 0 ) {
$GLOBALS['Key'] = 1;
};
};
I'm grateful for every hint
To put an arbitrary string inside reg exp you have to escape it first. Also, I added ignore case option. And removed the (.+) part.
foreach ($messageTemp as $valueK) {
$reg ="~\b".preg_quote($valueK, '/')."\b~i";
if (preg_match($reg, $keyword) !== 0) {
$GLOBALS['Key'] = 1;
}
}

I'm using the following code to return true or false if a string contains a substring in PHP 8.0.
<?php
$username = "mothertrucker"; // This username should NOT be allowed
$banlistFile = file_get_contents("banlist.txt"); //Contains the word "trucker" in it
$banlist = explode("\n", $banlistFile); // Splits $banlistFile into an array, split by line
if (contains($username, $banlist)) {
echo "Username is not allowed!";
} else {
echo "Username is allowed";
}
function contains($str, array $arr)
{
foreach($arr as $a) { // For each word in the banlist
if (stripos($str, $a) !== false) { // If I change $a to 'trucker', it works. "trucker" does not
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
?>
This is to detect if an inappropriate word is used when creating a username. So for example, if someone enters the username "mothertrucker", and "trucker" is included in the ban list, I want it to deny it.
Right now with this code, If I just type in the word "trucker" as a username, it is found and blocks it. Cool. However if there's more to the string than just "trucker", it doesn't detect it. So the username "mothertrucker" is allowed.
I discovered that if I explicitly type in 'trucker' instead of $a in the stripos function, it works perfectly. However, if I explicitly type in "trucker" (with double quotes), it stop working, and only blocks if that's the only thing the user entered.
So what I'm seeing, is it looks like the string $a that I'm passing it is being interpreted by PHP as a double quoted string, when in order for this to detect it properly, it needs to be a single quoted string. But as far as I can tell, I have no control over how php passes passing the variable.
Can I somehow convert it to a single quoted string? Perhaps the explode command I'm using in line 2 is causing it? Is there another way I can pull the data from a txt document and have it be interpreted as a single quote string? Hopefully I'm made sense with my explanation, but you can copy and paste the code and see it for yourself
Thanks for any help!
One potential problem would be any whitespace (which includes things like \r) could stop the word matching, so just trimming the word to compare with can tidy that up...
stripos($str, $a)
to
stripos($str, trim($a))
I do not know what your file actually contains so i dont know what the result of explode is.
Anyways my suggestion is (depending on the speed you want to perform this and also the length of the banlist file also your level of banning) to not explode the file and just look into it as a whole.
<?php
$username = "allow"; // This username should be allowed
$banlist = "trucker\nmotherfucker\n donot\ngoodword";
var_dump(contains($username, $banlist));
function contains($str, $arr)
{
if (stripos($arr, $str) !== false) return true;
else return false;
}
?>
Otherwise if you are going to allow say good which is an allowed word but since it is in the file with goodword it will not (using my example), you should not use stripos but instead use your example and use strcasecmp
Working in WordPress (PHP). I want to set strings to the database like below. The string is translatable, so it could be in any language keeping the template codes. For the possible variations, I presented 4 strings here:
<?php
$string = '%%AUTHOR%% changed status to %%STATUS_new%%';
$string = '%%AUTHOR%% changed status to %%STATUS_oldie%%';
$string = '%%AUTHOR%% changed priority to %%PRIORITY_high%%';
$string = '%%AUTHOR%% changed priority to %%PRIORITY_low%%';
To make the string human-readable, for the %%AUTHOR%% part I can change the string like below:
<?php
$username = 'Illigil Liosous'; // could be any unicode string
$content = str_replace('%%AUTHOR%%', $username, $string);
But for status and priority, I have different substrings of different lengths.
Question is:
How can I make those dynamic substring be replaced on-the-fly so that they could be human-readable like:
Illigil Liosous changed status to Newendotobulous;
Illigil Liosous changed status to Oldisticabulous;
Illigil Liosous changed priority to Highlistacolisticosso;
Illigil Liosous changed priority to Lowisdulousiannosso;
Those unsoundable words are to let you understand the nature of a translatable string, that could be anything other than known words.
I think I can proceed with something like below:
<?php
if( strpos($_content, '%%STATUS_') !== false ) {
// proceed to push the translatable status string
}
if( strpos($_content, '%%PRIORITY_') !== false ) {
// proceed to push the translatable priority string
}
But how can I fill inside those conditionals efficiently?
Edit
I might not fully am clear with my question, hence updating the query. The issue is not related to array str_replace.
The issue is, the $string that I need to detect is not predefined. It would come like below:
if($status_changed) :
$string = "%%AUTHOR%% changed status to %%STATUS_{$status}%%";
else if($priority_changed) :
$string = "%%AUTHOR%% changed priority to %%PRIORITY_{$priority}%%";
endif;
Where they will be filled dynamically with values in the $status and $priority.
So when it comes to str_replace() I will actually use functions to get their appropriate labels:
<?php
function human_readable($codified_string, $user_id) {
if( strpos($_content, '%%STATUS_') !== false ) {
// need a way to get the $status extracted from the $codified_string
// $_got_status = ???? // I don't know how.
get_status_label($_got_status);
// the status label replacement would take place here, I don't know how.
}
if( strpos($_content, '%%PRIORITY_') !== false ) {
// need a way to get the $priority extracted from the $codified_string
// $_got_priority = ???? // I don't know how.
get_priority_label($_got_priority);
// the priority label replacement would take place here, I don't know how.
}
// Author name replacement takes place now
$username = get_the_username($user_id);
$human_readable_string = str_replace('%%AUTHOR%%', $username, $codified_string);
return $human_readable_string;
}
The function has some missing points where I currently am stuck. :(
Can you guide me a way out?
It sounds like you need to use RegEx for this solution.
You can use the following code snippet to get the effect you want to achieve:
preg_match('/%%PRIORITY_(.*?)%%/', $_content, $matches);
if (count($matches) > 0) {
$human_readable_string = str_replace("%%PRIORITY_{$matches[0]}%%", $replace, $codified_string);
}
Of course, the above code needs to be changed for STATUS and any other replacements that you require.
Explaining the RegEx code in short it:
/
The starting of any regular expression.
%%PRIORITY_
Is a literal match of those characters.
(
The opening of the match. This is going to be stored in the third parameter of the preg_match.
.
This matches any character that isn't a new line.
*?
This matches between 0 and infinite of the preceding character - in this case anything. The ? is a lazy match since the %% character will be matched by the ..

I am having one hell of a time coming up with a decent way make this if statement search a file for these codes. I set up the text file to read from as such:
myfile.txt
r)
0Y7
1a6
q.
#g
#(
#a
!P
T[
V}
0,
Here is a brief of what I got going.
$subject = file_get_contents(fvManager_Path . 'myfile.txt');
if ( preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9,]+$/',$result['fmbushels_itemCode'], $subject) ) {
Basically I am trying to search the text file line by line to see if the whole string exists. They are case sensitive as well.
$result['fmbushels_itemCode'] is from a sql query and always returns a code like the above in the text.
I'd appreciate any help on this. If someone knows a better way of doing this or a different command, I'd be willing to give that a shot as well :)
edit:
private function _fvShareBushels() {
$subject = file_get_contents(fvManager_Path . 'myfile.txt');
if (count($vShareArray) > 0) {
$vCntMoves = count($vShareArray);
for ($vI = 0;$vI < $vRunMainLoop;$vI++) {
sell $result['fmbushels_itemCode']);
}
}
}
This is a snippet of a big code. I had to rip most out because of post limitation. The area I could be working with is:
if (count($vShareArray) > 0) {
If I could make this something like:
if (count($vShareArray) > 0 && $result['fmbushels_itemCode'] **is not in** $subject) {
If you want to do line by line, use the file() function.
$f = file(fvManager_Path . 'myfile.txt');
foreach($f AS $line){
// $line is current line at file
}
I'm not to sure if you understand completely how preg_match works. The first parameter is the regular expression pattern, the second is what you want to match the pattern to, and the third is an array of matches. So for every valid pattern matched in the second parameter a new index on the array is created.
I'm not 100% on what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to see if the $result['fmbushels_itemCode'] exists in the file?
If the above is the correct case you simply just need to do something like:
$f = file('myfile.txt');
array_map('trim', $f);
if(in_array($result['fmbushels_itemCode'], $f)){
// success
}
Anyone know of any sample php (ideally codeigniter) code for parsing user submitted comments. TO remove profanity and HTML tags etc?
Try strip_tags to get rid of any html submitted. You can use htmlspecialchars to escape the tags if you just want to ensure that no html is displayed in the comments - as per Matchu's example, less unintended effects will happen with it than with strip_tags.
For a word filter, depending on how indepth you want to go, there are many examples on the web, from simple to complex. Here's the code from Jake Olefsky's example (the simple one linked previously):
<?
//This is totally free to use by anyone for any purpose.
// BadWordFilter
// This function does all the work. If $replace is 1 it will replace all bad words
// with the wildcard replacements. If $replace is 0 it will not replace anything.
// In either case, it will return 1 if it found bad words or 0 otherwise.
// Be sure to fill the $bads array with the bad words you want filtered.
function BadWordFilter(&$text, $replace)
{
//fill this array with the bad words you want to filter and their replacements
$bads = array (
array("butt","b***"),
array("poop","p***"),
array("crap","c***")
);
if($replace==1) { //we are replacing
$remember = $text;
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($bads);$i++) { //go through each bad word
$text = eregi_replace($bads[$i][0],$bads[$i][5],$text); //replace it
}
if($remember!=$text) return 1; //if there are any changes, return 1
} else { //we are just checking
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($bads);$i++) { //go through each bad word
if(eregi($bads[$i][0],$text)) return 1; //if we find any, return 1
}
}
}
//this will replace all bad words with their replacements. $any is 1 if it found any
$any = BadWordFilter($wordsToFilter,1);
//this will not repace any bad words. $any is 1 if it found any
$any = BadWordFilter($wordsToFilter,0);
?>
Many more examples of this can be found easily on the web.
Okay so i set up this thing so that I can print out page that people came from, and then put dummy tags on certain pages. Some pages have commented out "linkto" tags with text in between them.
My problem is that some of my pages don't have "linkto" text. When I link to this page from there I want it to grab everything between "title" and "/title". How can I change the eregi so that if it turns up empty, it should then grab the title?
Here is what I have so far, I know I just need some kind of if/then but I'm a rank beginner. Thank you in advance for any help:
<?php
$filesource = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$a = fopen($filesource,"r"); //fopen("html_file.html","r");
$string = fread($a,1024);
?>
<?php
if (eregi("<linkto>(.*)</linkto>", $string, $out)) {
$outdata = $out[1];
}
//echo $outdata;
$outdatapart = explode( " " , $outdata);
echo $part[0];
?>
Here you go: if eregi() fails to match, the $outdata assignment will never happen as the if block will not be executed. If it matches, but there's nothing between the tags, $outdata will be assigned an empty string. In both cases, !$outdata will be true, so we can fallback to a second match on the title tag instead.
if(eregi("<linkto>(.*?)</linkto>", $string, $link_match)) {
$outdata = $link_match[1];
}
if(!$outdata && eregi("<title>(.*?)</title>", $string, $title_match)) {
$outdata = $title_match[1];
}
I also changed the (.*) in the match to (.*?). This means, don't be greedy. In the (.*) form, if you had $string set to
<title>Page Title</title> ...
... <iframe><title>A second title tag!</title></iframe>
The regex would match
Page Title</title> ... ... <iframe><title>A second title tag!
Because it tries to match as much as possible, as long as the text is between any and any other !. In the (.*?) form, the match does what you'd expect - it matches
Page Title
And stops as soon as it is able.
...
As an aside, this thing is an interesting scheme, but why do you need it? Pages can link to other pages and pass parameters via the query string:
...
Then somescript.php can access the prevpage parameter via the $_GET['prevpage'] superglobal variable.
Would that solve your problem?
The POSIX regex extension (ereg etc.) will be deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0 and may be gone completely come PHP 6, you're better off using the PCRE functions (preg_match and friends).
The PCRE functions are also faster, binary safe and support more features like non-greedy matching etc.
Just a pointer.
you need if, else.
if(eregi(...))
{
.
.
.
}
else
{
just grab title;
}
perhaps you should have done a quick google search to find this very simple answer.
Just add another if test before you assign the match to $outdata:
if (eregi("<linkto>(.*)</linkto>", $string, $out)) {
if ($out[1] != "") {
$outdata = $out[1];
} else {
// Look in the title.
}
}
