how can do it?! php have function or?!...
You could do a combination of:
str_replace() to strip out the : colons
substr() the sections you need
and concat them with . "-" .
lastly apply strtolower() if that's really required
Or, you could write a regex/preg_replace transformation.

PHP URL Encoding / Decoding

I can print a url with the following:
<?php print $base_url . $node_url ?>
What is the standard PHP way of converting special characters?
So instead of: http://time.com/3525666/ebola-psychology-fear-symptoms/
I need http%3A%2F%2Ftime.com%2F3525666%2Febola-psychology-fear-symptoms%2F
You would use urlencode for that sort of escaping.
Other escaping functions exist for other purposes, like htmlspecialchars for making text output safely for HTML display.
use his function in php , it is built in function to encode in url format
urlencode();
Just to add, htmlspecialchars, as mentioned above in the comment can take care of few html entities, not all of them.
Use htmlentities() instead:
$query_string = 'foo=' .urlencode($foo) . '&bar=' . urlencode($bar);echo '';

Php - regular expression to check if the string has chinese chars
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am trying to detect chinese characters in a string I have in PHP, currently I am trying to do this:
$bio = '全部都好有用架 無用的我都一早打入冷宮唔見哂(… 有意/想睇圖都歡迎留whatsapp or line: chibimasakishop 可綠線/將軍澳線交收';
if (preg_match('/[\x{4e00}-\x{9fa5}]+.*\-/u', $bio) === 1) {
var_dump('contains a chinese character');
}
why isn't this working?
Try this
if(preg_match("/\p{Han}+/u", $bio))
{
var_dump('contains a chinese character');
}
Reference : Php check if the string has Chinese chars
in your case i think you have "\-" extra, i think
/[\x{4e00}-\x{9fa5}]+.*/u
should work

Unicode character in PHP string

I'm trying to convert some characters with PHP before inserting to MySQL DB a JSON object with this kind of data:
\u00c9
that means: É
I tried this but it didn't work:
echo utf8_encode(print_r('\u00c9'));
I've read that it's in Unicode but i can't find the way to print it before inserting it. Any ideas?
Take a look at this answer. TL;DR:
echo json_decode('"\u00c9"');

Those are called diacritics (or accents). The process of converting some text from one script to another (e.g. one with diacritics to one without) is called transliteration and PHP has a module for performing it.
You probably want something like:
transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII', $your_input);
